Workshopping, cont.

1. Journal-  essay checks.


Common Mistakes...

1.  Fragment.
2.  Comma Splice
3.  Run on
4.  Tense shift.
5.  Verb tense agreement.
6.  Parallelism.
7.  Pronoun Antecedent Agreement

3.  Epic Essay Battle

Mother Nature V.  Storm Country.  (See me if you'd like to read the whole, short essay).

Which is better?  Why?   


4.  Closing and what's up-

Descriptive Reading:  "The Deer at Providencia" on page 150 plus the first set of questions 1-6.
Descriptive Reading:   "The Vietnam Wall" on page 176.
Descriptive Reading:   "Facing It"  on the world wide web with no questions.
