1.  Commonly Confused Words – highlight every one of the words used in your rough draft – review its usage and revise if necessary.

2.  Syntax Analysis Sheet – use your body paragraph(s) to complete the syntax chart thoroughly.  Make any changes you can to add variety and sophistication.

3.  Sentence Structure – Label each sentence in your draft as simple, compound, complex, or compound-complex.  If it is a fragment or run-on, fix it.

4.  Sentence Structure Part 2 – Use your Art of Styling Sentences book to revise some of your sentences.  You must have at least one Pattern 16, one Pattern 7, and one Pattern 3.  In your final draft, you will highlight or underline this sentence and label the pattern.

5.  1^st and 2^nd person – Highlight every you, your, me, I, our, and we in your rough draft.  Rewrite the sentence to eliminate 1^st and 2^nd person.  Your paper should be written entirely in 3^rd person.
