Notes about Writing

Please remember that a paragraph has the following parts.

• Opening sentence ( Topic sentence)
• Detail
• Detail
• Detail
• Closing sentence.

The Opening sentence will tell everyone what you are writing about.

Details explain about the topic.

The closing sentence restates the opening. Or it may finish the thought started in the opening sentence.

When you have written what you can. Have someone proofread it. Proofreaders may use the code below to help you fix it.

Look over the mistakes or suggestions and rewrite it. DO NOT ERASE AND FIX. You will need to are where you started to check your mistakes later.

When you have fixed or rewritten what you can. Have someone proofread it again. If the are happy, you may write your final draft. If not, rewite and fix it again.

Final drafts are graded, nothing else. So if you do not have your writing proofread by someone, your chances are not as good for a good score.
