Find Five Errors and Fix Them
Reviewing your work so far this semester and thinking about prior editing mistakes, make a list of your most common errors. Perhaps you do not when to use introductory commas, or you write wordy sentences, or you are not sure if the period goes inside the quotes.
Your job for this assignment is to review your previous work. Find five different errors and figure out how to fix them. Find a link that explains it and share it with me. If you cannot find five different errors in your own work, look up five editing issues from Appendix B (pages 445-468) and explain those. Attached is Appendix B and Assignments
Your response should look something like this . . .
In my first assignment, you told me I made an introductory comma error. The error is “When looking at the Google Chrome manual I thought that the writers made it as a joke.” Now I realize that I need a comma after manual. This link helped me understand the problem. http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/commas_intro.htm (Links to an external site.)
