Editing for the Final Version

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.  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 all drafts and comment sheets.

2.  TWFTD:  sinister in the OED -- be sure to scroll down through all meanings.
