Last week you wrote three paragraphs. Today we are going to do some revision work. Your task is as follows:
1. Select one of your first two paragraphs, copy and paste it into a new document, and re-format it - triple spaced, 13 point font, Times New Roman.
2. Use paragraph breaks to separate the following components of your paragraph. (In other words, the sections of your paragraph will have several extra lines of space between them.)
- claim/topic sentence
- set-up/context
- incorporated, cited quotation
- explanation/warrant
3. Print out a hard copy. Use a colored pen or pencil to neatly perform the following tasks:
- circle all subjects
- underline all predicates
- cross out all fragments
- fix punctuation as necessary
4. Once you've taken a closer, clearer look at your paragraph, re-write it so all of these components are functioning smoothly, gracefully, and thoroughly.
