While reading rough drafts this weekend I am still seeing areas of weakness in elementary parts of your writing. Writing cohesive paragraphs with a clear topic sentences and details to support along with creating concise sentences are among these problems.
Today you worked on proofreading work, correcting these types of errors. (page 289)
Directions:
Part A:
- Compose 2 paragraphs
- Delete 2 unnecessary sentences
- Reorder for better organization/more logical flow
- Add words for better clarity/heighten vocabulary
Part C:
- Compose 3 paragraphs
- Delete 3 unrelated sentences
- & 4. are the same as above
You are also going to complete Vocabulary Unit 9: Definitions, Completing the Sentences, and Synonyms for tomorrow. Any work you did not finish in class becomes homework. I will collect/check tomorrow with you in class.
