1. Found under Honors 12 Instructional links, you will find three handouts. The first covers editing and proof reading. You need to take out your notes and take good notes on the instructions and suggestions.
2. Next, open up "Commas" handout. Also, take notes.
3. You will then open up the "Writing Concisely" handout. This addresses how to look for wordiness, passivity, etc. in your writing. You need to also take good notes on the pertinent information.
When you are done with this...
4. Open up your expository sections on Chaucer's use of satire and irony. You will be going through your drafts looking for FIRST.. comma usage. Then, wordiness, passive verbs, etc. When you find issues to be fixed, you will edit your paper with a DIFFERENT COLORED FONT to indicate your change.
5. Then... do an ACTIVE proofreading of both sections of your paper. Utilize the strategies you have been instructed upon.
You will have until 9:00 PM to have the editing done on your own paper. At 9:00 PM on the day of class, it is considered a final draft.
The scorer you have been assigned can then open your document and will SCORE your expository writing with the handed out scoring guide given in class today.
Scorer: please write your name and time stamp beside the document writer's name. Please use a different color font.
