Final Draft, Tattoo Writing Assignment
Please submit the final draft of the first paragraph here. You will need to save your paragraph as a Word document and upload the file here.
Before you submit your final draft, be sure to double-check the following. These are the criteria I will be using to grade your work:
Review Questions:
1. Look at the topic sentence. Is it a complete sentence? Make sure that it's not a fragment or written like a "title." For example, "Three reasons people get tattoos." This would be a fragment. Instead, write: "There are three reasons people get tattoos." This would be a complete sentence.
2. Look for the first supporting point. Could you find it easily? Is there a transition? What is the transition? ____________________
Is there a specific example of this first reason people get tattoos? It should be a detailed description of a tattoo. Remember, this is an exemplification paragraph, which means there must be specific examples of each supporting point.
3. Now look for the second supporting point. What is the transition? _________________ If it's missing, write one in.
Is there a specific example for this supporting point? Is there enough detail? If no, suggest what could be added to make it "A-level specific."
4. Find the third supporting point. Transition? _______________
Is there an interesting specific example of this final supporting point? Does it need more detail? Remember, specific writing is interesting writing! Details like a person's name can help your reader connect with your writing.
5. Is there a conclusion sentence?
6. Finally, edit your paragraph the best you can for any errors such as fragments, run-ons, or misspelled words.
