Writing Assignment 3
The assignment: Write a paragraph in which you describe a person.
In your first drafts, focus on getting the meaning “right." Be sure that the paragraph says exactly what you want it to say. The drafts that you give to your audience for feedback should adhere to the conventions of Standard American English.
The paragraph should include a topic sentence, at least three supporting sentences, and a concluding sentence. Remember to develop general statements with details. The paragraph will be evaluated on organization, development, grammar, punctuation, spelling, usage, mechanics, and presentation.
The final draft of the paragraph should be in Courier New, 12-point font and should be in the format shown in The Little, Brown Handbook (LBH), pp. 736-738. In a folder with a pocket, turn in all prewriting (on bottom), rough drafts, and final draft (on top).
Be proud of your work. Proofread carefully and present your work to your audience in a professional manner.
