This week, we are focusing on revision. This activity is meant to give you some ideas for revising your final project. Keep in mind that this assignment will require that you write a short draft of your third writing project (about 250 words). Make sure to review my comments on the "working plan project 3 assignment" before you begin composing your draft.

The final draft requires 1000 words, but for this assignment, you will use a short working draft of about 250 words.
Compose the draft and then answer the questions below.

Step 1:

Read over Ch. 27: How to Write Good Sentences. Then pull up the working draft of your Project 3: Personal Definition of Writing draft.

Step 2:

Using the chapter to help you, answer the following questions about your Personal Definition of Writing:

1. Read over the section of Ch. 27 called "Four Common Sentence Patterns."
   • Option a: Find one sentence in your Project 3 working draft that you can revise into a simple sentence for emphasis.

• • • • Paste the original sentence.
      • Write the revision.
      • Explain why you think the sentence gets your idea across better now.

1. • Option b: Find one complex sentence in your Project 3 working draft that you can revise to better emphasize the most important idea in that sentence.
     • • Paste the original sentence.
       • Write the revision.
       • Explain why you think the sentence gets your idea across better now.
2. Read over the section of Ch. 27 called "Opening Sentences". Look at the opening sentence of your Project 3 working draft.
   • Option a: Revise the first sentence of your project after reading the chapter and then explain why you revised. Post the original, the revision, and your explanation as to why it's better, using ideas from the chapter.
   • Option b: Explain why you are choosing to keep your first sentence the same as it was, without editing it, after reading this section of the book. Post your sentence and your explanation of why you think it's a good first sentence, using ideas from the chapter.
3. Read over the section of Ch. 27 called "Closing Sentences". Look at the last sentence of your Project 3 working draft.
   • Option a: Revise the last sentence of your project after reading the chapter and then explain why you revised. Post the original, the revision, and your explanation as to why it's better, using ideas from the chapter.
   • Option b: Explain why you are choosing to keep your first sentence the same as it was, without editing it, after reading this section of the book. Post your sentence and your explanation of why you think it's a good first sentence, using ideas from the chapter.
