Paragraph Writing

Write two paragraphs on topics selected from the suggested list.

• Do NOT select topics on which you wrote earlier paragraphs.
• Follow directions for in-class writing assignments: use required formatting, compose a clear and well-limited topic sentence, provide relevant and specific examples and details, proofread to look for kinds of errors you know you tend to make (especially fused sentences and other sentence faults), etc.
• Submit some prewriting with your completed paragraphs.
• Also include both a preliminary draft and a final draft that you have carefully and thoroughly revised and edited.
• Printed copies of both paragraphs are due at the beginning of the class period.
• IMPORTANT: Make sure that you have access to an electronic copy of the paragraphs in class. Plan ahead so that you won't have to worry about computer problems, for instance.
