Draft #1 Problem Solution

We check the apostrophe handout.

You fill out the writer's page.  I pass out comment sheets and you exchange papers. 

PLEASE pay attention to the input you get. I am grading some papers where students marked things or made comments that would have improved the grade on the paper.

Homework:

1. Improve this draft. Draft #2 is due Friday.

2. TWFTD: revise in OED.

Apostrophes and Writing Your Draft

Apostrophes! pages 420-421 in Everyday Writer.

What are the meanings of these sentences? Copy and explain:

My brother's dog's food is rotting.

 

My brothers' dog's food is rotting.

 

My brothers' dogs' food is rotting.

 

My brother's dogs' food is rotting.

 

 

Possession, yes, but what about these words?  his, hers, theirs, ours, yours, its, whose.

Special confusion points go to its, your, their and whose because of it's, you're, they're and who's.

Do the handout. Then work on your draft for tomorrow.

Homework:

1. Draft 1 due Problem/ Solution paper

2. TWFTD: possessive in OED.
