Activity 2: Readings and Resources

Please read the chapters and sections mentioned below to prepare for the assessment.

E-text Readings:

  • In SF Writer's Chapter 6 you find out how to get started on your draft and how to pace your writing. Chapter 7 gives you tips on revising, editing and proofreading—all processes you will need each time you look at your draft. There is also a section in Chapter 8 called "civil language" that will help you monitor the type of language you use in your writing.
  • In Writing: A Guide for College and Beyond, Chapter 20 there is a great review for drafts on p. 599 and there is a checklist for revision on p. 30 and an example of a first draft on p. 33 in Chapter 4. There is also a suggestion for reading aloud your draft in that same chapter.
