English 10 Reminders for Friday

1. Revise final outlines (these will be on A sheet of paper to hand in, not just cards)
2. Look for the two errors we discussed based on my in-class review of your drafts:
First: Make sure each paragraph shows ONE governmental action, with 3 examples, not 3 different things the Government does.
Secondly: Make sure that the "last" part of your analysis, the part that explains the intended effect of what the government is doing is clear and specific. Many were still vague!
Once you have a clear main idea for each paragraph, as to exactly what the government is trying to accomplish, you are in a better position to make sure that each example shows this. You should see this "effect" or "why" show up on the right-hand side of all your DEs in the paragraph, as this is exactly what will answer the question:
"How does this help the government get, increase, or maintain, its power?"

FOR WORD USAGE REVIEW:
like last year, write up 20 new sentences based on errors in the guide you think you might make: try to use a different pair of misused words in each.

Create a second copy on which you mess up one of the words intentionally, trying to anticipate the most common errors. (it usually works best if you use the same word for both, not just flip flop them: that way one is right, the other wrong, and your partners/table challengers will have to figure out which is which!
