This is where we will do in-class exercises so that we can look at alternative revision possibilities. I hope this will make it easier for you to compare ideas . My first edits will be with color text. I will highlight the parts of your work which need improvement. ( Of course these do not represent all the possible corrections. More detailed feedback will be put on printed classwork.) The colors will represent problem areas and should help you see patterns in your mistakes:

Red for punctuation and capitalization (mechanics)

Blue for word problems such as: word choice or word order, missing articles or other missing words, preposition problems (clarity)

Yellow for spelling

Green for grammar: subject-verb agreement, sentence structure, incorrect verb form, run-on sentences, sentence fragments


Remember that your post should begin with your name and the name of the assignment. To be safe, you should do your work in a word-processing format and then copy-paste into the weblog because sometimes the posts get lost or don't publish correctl
