1.
Revising Compositions.
- Listen to the tapes with my comments
on your composition.
- If I have misunderstood something
you wrote or if you don't understand my comments, please ask me.
- I do have a couple of tape recorders
you can use to listen to the comments, but please try to bring your
own walkman if you have one.
2. Remember when writing your compositions
to follow the composition format, in particular the following:
- write the name of the assignment at
the top of the composition;
- write the line numbers every 5 lines;
- double space.
3. Focusing writing in a Letter to the
Editor
- This class we will look at focusing
our writing when writing a letter to the editor of a newspaper.
- Go first to the focusing part
of the process writing page.
- Then look at the Letters
to the Editor assignment
page.
- Look at the example
letters.
- Write your own letter.
4. Compound Sentences
- To help you develop your sentence
building skills, I want you to concentrate on compound
sentences.
- Then go back to your composition and
compound any sentences where you feel it would improve your writing.
- Underline the compound sentences you
have used.
- Remember, you do not need to make
every sentence a compound sentence.
- More advanced writers should look at
sentence
variety as well.
