due Tuesday, 2/16/10 at 9:30 am

1. Study the textbook sections on Capitals (p 712),
Apostrophes (p 688), and Quotation Marks (p 696).
You will have a test on these three. BRING A BLUE
SCAN SHEET AND A #2 PENCIL FOR THE TEST.

2. Use the handout that contains 44 items (at the
top of the sheet is the lable "Outline Exercise 1)
to prepare a Formal Outline. (See a sample formal
outline on p 105). Your homework exercise will need
four levels for some primary supports. A model of
the four level outline is included on the right hand
side of the assignment sheet.You do not have to type
the outline; you can very carefully hand print it.
Remember that you must use all 44 items; you
cannot add items or remove items.

3. Using the returned assignment from Tuesday, 2/9/10,
[the third part], use one sentence as a topic sentence
to type a long paragraph (250-350 words]. The three
items that you added to any of the sentences will
serve as the secondary supports for the topic sentence.
You need to add details to each secondary suppport. Do
this:(1) prepare and type an outline, (2) type and print a
double-spaced draft and make corrections on the printed
copy,(3) type and print a corrected double-spaced copy,
(4)hand them in with the outline first, the final copy
second, and any other papers third.

If you have any questions, come by the office, call me,
or e-mail me. The information is on the cherry-colored
first day handout.
