How to do corrections

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.
