You check your sentence combinations from yesterday in The Everyday Writer pages 316-317.
Something to think about in your observation paper is using a comparison to help us imagine what you describe. These are similes and metaphors. For instance, look at the handout and Snopes. Copy down your two favorites into your daybook, please.
Now we work on the computers, where you open your draft in Moodle and see about corrections/changes. Do you know about search and highlighting? Check all your their/there/they're, for starters. Avoid "There is" or "There are". Is dialogue punctuated correctly? You final edit should be on a printed out version of your paper --and read it out loud!
Homework:
1. Bring to class your printed final version, MLA style (see yellow handout), and hard copies of all drafts and comment sheets.
2. TWFTD: sinister in the OED -- be sure to scroll down through all meanings.
