1.Response to "Let's REPPEL" by Lorraine Wallace (6 bullet points--one for each letter in the mnemonic RAPPEL+ 6 short paragraphs--a short response explaining the importance of each letter)
*Also include at the end of your response, the REPPEL for your pre-assessment essay. In other words, apply REPPEL as shown at the bottom of page 5 of the article to your pre-assessment essay.
2. Your revisions for your pre-assessment essay will not be due until Monday. We will spend time in class on Friday reviewing punctuation rules. (I have prepared a grammar packet that will help all of you throughout the class.) *Remember if you are fixing a comma splice, you can't just pull the comma out. You have to put a period and capitalize the beginning of the following sentence. Class discussion on Friday will be helpful to all of you regardless of your grammar skill level. Also, don't start re-writing your entire essays! At this point, you are correcting errors.
*Most importantly, PLEASE remember that content is separate from punctuation! I enjoyed your stories! We just have some clean-up work to do!
