Post your 5 “bad” sentences here by Friday night at midnight. Paste them in as a single, single-spaced, list. Identify who you are (while still maintaining internet safety) by posting as:
<first five letters of last name><HYPHEN><First letter of first name< # of Class Per.>
(e.g.: my posting name, if I were in period 2, would be Pohlm-B2).
Write 8 sentences (they don’t have to be a paragraph) about ANYTHING in Ethan Frome.
Just keep the sentences about the same subject, and include text.
In 4 of the 8 sentences, embed some type of vague statement from our style rules.
The goal is to “hide” the vague phrases among other sentences so that peers have to find them.
To get credit, use “YOUR INITIALS +PERIOD #” as your username–
e.g. “BP1”
As before, include a 2-sentence synopsis of the subject and overall main idea of the piece–this is especially critical for sources like the NYT or WSJ where we’ll hit paywalls if we click on more than 10. Save under First initial-Last initial-period format as your username (e.g.: BP4)
Include only a 1-sentence main idea summary blurb
Paste the link, and a two-sentence, “2-soap” blurb, below. Post using your initials and period as your username: E.G.: “BP5” . Everyone gets credit for posting on-time.
Instructions: feel free to add additional, targeted mistakes for your peers to find. We’re only focusing on: UQ, ENP, Def’s of LT disguised as content, 1-w errors, and multiple topic sentences. Please post with an anonymous username. (no one actually sees the email you use to post–it just confirms that you’re not a robot) make sure to click on the primary “reply” link to reply to the post, not to another person’s post.
Sorry, all–put this up in class and for some reason, it did not save correctly. If you can get them in by anytime tomorrow, I’d appreciate it very much!
mea culpa technologica! -P
