Good Luck!

I'm really looking forward to reading your revisions next week. As you revise this weekend, consider using some of the strategies we've practiced in the writing prompts to make your points more vivid and powerful. Don't forget to explain why these examples are significant.

One way of thinking about this is called P.I.E.

P = make a point
I = illustrate the point with examples/evidence
E = explain why the point is important

I also encourage you to refer to your handbook frequently. It can be especially helpful to re-read sections as you move through the writing process.

If you decide to include this essay in your portfolio, you'll have an opportunity to revise it again.

The handout (pdf) on coordinating independent and dependent clauses is available here. There are all sorts of useful handouts on the Writing Center website, so I encourage you to check it out.

Have a great weekend!
