COMPLETE SENTENCES: What every writer must have!

Edit Your Own Paper for Fragments and Run-ons Think back to Monday’s writing review lesson in class, when we worked with fragments and run-ons. Read every “sentence” you wrote. Is it REALLY a complete sentence/idea? If it is not, fix the problem by adding missing punctuation, a subject, verb, or both.

Editing for Correct Capitalization Are all key words in the title capitalized? Are the first words in EVERY sentence capitalized? Did you remember to capitalize ALL names, “I” – proper nouns, which may include place names like national parks, cities, states, specific rivers and lakes, or special monuments Languages, like English, Spanish, and German should all be capitalized REMOVE capital letters from general words

A Special Capitalization Rule * Use a capital letter when you replace a parent’s name in a sentence “Mom” or “Dad” “Hey, Mom! Where’s the laundry basket?” I asked. *Don’t capitalize it if it’s just a reference: My mom likes spaghetti. How to know the difference tip: If it’s used as a NAME, you should be able to substitute the word mom/dad with their actual name.

Dialogue

Editing Dialogue Apply our writing review lesson on dialogue from Tuesday to your own paper by editing for dialogue errors. Are quotes around what was said out loud? Are your commas INSIDE the quotes? Do you start new paragraphs for each speaker when an extended conversation occurs?

Editing Dialogue Do you vary your pattern, sometimes starting with the “ “ and ending with who said it…other times reversing the order? Ex.: “Get out of the house and call 911!” Casey shrieked as smoke billowed from our kitchen. Ex.: Casey ran down the hallway shrieking, “Get out of the house and call 911!”

Editing Dialogue If you used thoughts, “internal dialogue,” did you remember to do the following three things: 1.Type it in italics 2.Did NOT use any “ “ 3.Made it clear these are your inner thoughts and not someone else speaking

After they have edited it for you: Make your revisions and reprint what we will refer to as your “second official” draft. Two people need to edit your draft before I see it Have them make editing marks and suggestions and sign their name Use two different colored pens so we can tell which editor commented on what!
