Sentence Structure and MLA format
Today, we will be working on our writing using our “Powder” paragraphs.
Please have your writing open in one tab and the course blog in another. We will go through a slideshow on sentence structure and then you will revise your writing.
SENTENCE STRUCTURE PRESENTATION
Make a second copy of your writing.
Triple space the writing.
Highlight simple sentences in yellow, compound sentences, in blue, complex sentences in green, and compound-complex sentences in pink.
Your goal is to have at least one of each of the types of sentences.
Once you have revised your writing both using my feedback and re-writing your sentences, you will set-up your writing in MLA format.
