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.
