On Writing Well Post, QUIZLET Terms

Your next assignment is to apply the principles of On Writing Well in order to revise your first essay on Into The Wild.  

  1. Read your paper with the eyes of William Zinssner.
  2. Make necessary changes in grammar, style, word choice, voice, etc.  
  3. Make notes on your new essay (in a different color font or using the comment function in MS WORD) where you made changes and EXPLAIN the reason for those changes.
  4. Email to hughesrory@gmail.com by 12 noon on August 31
IMPORTANT CHANGE:  INSTEAD OF LEARNING ALL 136 TERMS FROM QUIZLET, CHOOSE 50 THAT YOU THINK ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT.  YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO KNOW THOSE 50 WHEN SCHOOL STARTS.

Enjoy the rest of your summer!
