English 201 Class Notes
SPHE Quizzes:
Quiz 1MLA, 2 Pronoun Agreement, 3. Pronoun Case, 4. Ellipses, 5. Parallel Structure, 6. Be Verbs, 7. Subject Verb Agreement, 8. Possessives.
Grammar Exam 1, (Wednesday, March 17)
*Note: The quizzes are given in class; we grade them together and I am keeping a record of scores. For the essays, students will develop templates for the errors, write an essay analyzing the errors and resubmit the revised essay along with the error analysis essay for a passing grade.
Each student can revise an essay once; for subsequent revisions the grade drops one to one- half point (my discretion). After SPHE, I expect students to be experts at revision and editing. If a student isn’t careful, a 4.0 can slip to 2.0.
