      Collective essay writing phase 2: editing for errors. 

      In this file you will find the various language issues with the sequence of paragraphs 1-8 highlighted and coded (but mostly uncorrected) for you to edit accordingly. (Please refer to the separate 'corrections code' file on this moodle page if the meaning of any of the codes is not clear.)

      Please study this text, individually or with other students, to work out how to improve the grammar, vocabulary, punctuation and spelling where I have signalled that improvements are required. This activity is meant to help you reflect on language choices whilst essay writing in English; learn from common mistakes, so that you will avoid making them in future, and think creatively about alternative and more natural ways to express ideas in English. Please bring your proposed corrections and adjustments to class.

    • Student writing revised and corrected: 3 paragraph sequence on why fasting is a good idea File DOCX

      Here are six student texts A-F, in two versions: the original, and the reviewed version. The two versions are placed side by side in a table - the original on the left, and the reviewed version on the right - for ease of comparison, and to facilitate your understanding of the corrections and adjustments that have been made.

      Please take time to study these revised texts and to learn from the mistakes (which may be a focus of the mid term test).
