Writing Week 10:  November 4, 2020


HOMEWORK: 
Use the first section of the Checklist for Revising a Formal Essay handout--see below if you can't find it-- (“Ideas, Organization, & Sentence Fluency”) to REVISE the body paragraphs of your essay.  KEEP your first draft and all your brainstorming and TURN IT ALL IN.  Staple in this order:  Newest draft on top, then first draft, then brainstorming on the bottom. 

Ideas, Organization, & Sentence Fluency
  • Have I divided each main idea into its own paragraph?
  • Have I put my paragraphs in the right order?
  • Have I gotten rid of extra ideas I don’t really need?
  • Do they begin with a TOPIC SENTENCE, or main idea, for that paragraph?
  • Does each sentence in each paragraph relate to the topic of the paragraph that it is in?  Is it an example of the main idea or a detail or evidence? 
  • Have I “analyzed” or written about each detail, example, or evidence I used with my own thoughts or elaboration/explanation?
  • Does anything from one paragraph belong somewhere else?
  • Do my body paragraphs have enough “meat”?  Are they about 6-10 sentences long?  If shorter, could it combine somewhere?  If longer, can I split it up?
  • Have I checked to make sure I am following the assignment?
  • Am I offending my audience in any way?
  • Does it seem to “flow”?  Check to make sure transitions are either at the end of one paragraph or the beginning of the next.  See transition handout! 
  • Are all my sentences different lengths so it doesn’t put my reader to sleep?
