Writing Assignment
Topic: Do you own an object of great value, even though it isn’t worth a lot of money? Describe the object and its importance.
Plan: What object?
Think about: What makes it important? How do you feel about it? How does it play a role in your life?
Outline: This is a one-paragraph essay but if you want to make it three that’s okay.
What is the object? Describe it physically. Describe its importance to you. If you can’t think of enough detail, tell a story about it.
Draft: Write your first draft
Revise and Edit: This means more than check your
spelling. You should read it aloud and
make sure your ideas flow and they are written in logical order. Editing includes moving sentences,
restructuring sentences or paragraphs, and checking for spelling. Do this
BEFORE you hand it in on Thursday.
Write your final draft: Make any adjustments suggested on your draft
and add/remove anything else you think necessary to make your essay as clear as
possible.
