Once you have corrected the rough drafting errors we looked at Tuesday - including in-text/parenthetical citations in your work, following MLA format, and creating a Works Cited page (and Works Consulted page - if necessary) ... you should have produced a hard copy of your rough draft. If not, that is the first order of business today - all of our revising and editing will be done with pen/pencil ON that printed rough draft before we correct it.

Afterwards, go back through your rough draft ... underline capitalization mistakes with three lines. Add in or strike out commas where necessary and circle it to make it more visible. Finally, read through your paper and make sure that you have variations in your sentences types - it shouldn't be all simple sentences nor should be it all complex, compound, etc. Sentence variety makes a more readable paper. Rewrite between lines as necessary.
