How to Do Corrections
for Dr. Carter
1.
First, write a cover letter in which you:
a.
Thank your teacher for the opportunity to
improve your writing. This thank-you need not be overly long, but should not be
ironic.
b.
Describe the worst errors
you had in your paper.
c.
Describe what strategies you are going to use to
ensure that you do not make those errors ever again. Be specific; “I am going
to try harder” is NOT a strategy.
2.
Then copy and paste your errors into a new
document and label them, e.g.
Fragment: Beowulf
feels confidence. Confidence in himself.
3.
Then underneath the error, write the correction,
e.g.
Fragment: Beowulf
feels confidence. Confidence in himself.
Correction:
Beowulf feels confidence in
himself.
4.
Then turn the cover letter, the errors and corrections,
the original paper, and the grade sheet in to Dr. Carter.
