Myths, Legends and Folk Tales Essay Work Continued
For today, you should be ready to start the revision and editing process of your essay. Create a new document here and paste your essay here for the revisions and editing. I should be able to compare the one uploaded in the last assignment and see that you have revised.
Click on video link below for an explanation of the instructions.
Revision: Revision is when you check your essay for things like word choice, sentence variety, unnecessary content, or adding content.
Editing: Editing is when you look for and repair grammatical errors, spelling errors, punctuation errors, clause errors and citing errors.
To revise: Read your essay.
*Are there places where you could trim your writing to make it more concise with less wording?
*Are you using all simple sentences or do you have a variety of sentences?
*Are there places where you can combine sentences in order to create variety?
*Sentence Variety: Simple, compound, complex and compound/complex
*Are there places in which you need to add more content for a clearer understanding of the topic?
To Edit: Read your essay.
*Does each sentence start with a capital and end with a period?
*Are there any misspelled words?
*Do your complex and compound sentences contain commas?
*Do your sentences make sense and are they complete sentences?
*Have you cited correctly the evidence (research) you used to explain the subtopics?**
**For the Myths, Legends, and Folk Tales explanatory essay you are not making a works cited, but you do need to cite where you got your evidence in the body of your essay. Not citing is plagiarism and will cause a loss of points.
You must cite where the evidence came from in the body of the essay. For example, if I got information on folk tales from the HRW Level-up Tutorial and I use that information in the body of my paper, I have to give credit to the source. So there are two ways to do that.
1. Introduce where the information came from as you write the information. Ex: According to the HRW Level-up Tutorial, "Folk tales are....
2. Cite at the end of the quote or evidence. Ex: "Folk tales are..."(HRW Level-up Tutorial).
Create a new document and paste your essay from the previous assignment. Then begin the revision and editing process. Let someone else read the essay so that they may see errors that you miss and can then help you with the repairs. I should be able to compare the first draft to the edited and revised draft and see the changes you made.
