Working on your Paper

Grammar:

Review of coordination and subordination. See April 15 in your daybook.

I.  The following is a run-on. Fix it by combining the two clauses four different ways using subordination (p. 290) and coordination (fanboys or a semicolon):

Education is an elusive word it often means different things to different people.
Done correctly, you will have 4 long sentences that say the same thing but are held together differently.
.

II. We review the assignment sheet to see what should be in your draft.

III. Work on the draft due tomorrow. During class tomorrow you will read and write about each other's drafts.

IV. Finish revising the blurbs.  Print. Hand in.

Homework:

1. Finish up your draft. Type it? (Have mercy on your readers.)

2. TWFTD:  elude in OED. Elusive comes from "elude."
