Writing Assignment

September 25, 2006

Topic: Write an advertisement for a great movie, TV show or play you have seen recently. You should include at least five elements that you think people would enjoy about it. Your ad should be at least one paragraph.

Plan/Outline: Think about: Who is your target audience? What things do you think would appeal to other people? What are the things about the show that you liked? Make sure you mention what kind of show it is (comedy, sci fi, drama, etc.).

Draft: Expand your outline into some semblance of a first draft. (one page)

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.

Draft: Write your first draft (due Thursday). First drafts may be handwritten or typed.

Revise and Edit: Yes, do it again, taking into consideration any comments from your teacher.

Write your final draft: Make your writing as clear and interesting (with details!) as possible. Final drafts must be typed in 12-font with standard margins. Your final draft is due Monday.
