Due Tuesday, 4/08/08

1. Using your outline on religion, write a complete essay
of 500-600 words(intro paragraph ending with the thesis sentence),
support paragraphs (each beginning with a topic sentence
that supports the thesis sentence), and a closing paragraph
(see pages 93-95 - do NOT begin this paragraph with "In
conclusion" or "In closing"). You can change your outline
if you get a better idea. You should submit your essay
to SmarThinking to get suggestions on improving the
essay. Hand in the papers in this order: 1. The outline,
2. The final copy; 3. Draft with changes; 4. Comments from
SmarThinking if you submit it.

2. Study the confusing words that we discussed in class. I
will give you a long paragraph to revise using these words.
If you find an error, you'll correct it. If the word is used
correctly, you'll leave it as it is.

3. Using your textbook and your class notes, evaluate the
sentences that are on the handout. Each sentence will be
identified as A. Fragment; B. Fused Sentence; C. Comma
Splice; or D. Correct Sentence. A good way to do this is
to try to correct the error that you identify. In class today,
you will also have a test over similar sentences with
similar errors.
4. If you have any questions, see me, call me, or email me.
