1. Finding coordination and subordination. Look at the last paragraph of "Communications" on page 84 in Bedford. I see two examples of coordination and one ( and a hard-to-find second) example of subordination. In your daybook, copy down the words you think are doing coordination and subordination between full clauses [with a couple of the words around them].
2. Editing using TurnItIn: Open your Draft 2 in the TurnItIn assignment where you submitted it yesterday, and think about fixes to apply to your draft. Think about RE-WRITING (Transforming!) sentences that are confusing, overly long, or marked up in mysterious ways.
What's a C/S or comma splice? It's a run-on made WITH a comma. It's a comma missing the FANBOYS word. It's a comma that should be a period.
Also, do your paragraphs make sense as units of organization?
Do you have a hook?
Homework:
1. Continue editing your paper. The final version will be handed in with ALL DRAFTS on Friday.
2. TWFTD: sinister in OED
