To Write a Good Final Draft Read your essay as if you’re a critic. Respond to content but also to style.

Starting Principle Write for yourself, but edit for readers. Specific areas to pay attention to: grammar punctuation style

Grammar Fragments, run-ons, comma splices Subject-verb agreement Pronoun-referent agreement

Punctuation Commas Apostrophes Semi-colon Full colon

Style Parallel Structure Wordy Sentences Awkward or unclear phrases

The Last Step: Proofreading Make sure your essay says what you think it says. Check spelling, punctuation, grammar. Neatly white out or neatly cross out errors and write corrections in ink. More than half the errors in final drafts are not caused by ignorance but by carelessness.
