Improving Your Writing Style - Practice


  1. Choose a paragraph of your own writing. This could be writing from a previous workbook or a new composition.

  2. Following a similar format in Danica's exemplar, identify how you used sentence variety, word choices, and voice.

  3. Edit your writing to make it more balanced in these areas, and provide a revised copy following the student work pages. Please attach your original work as well.

  4. Again, on the revised copy, identify the sentence variety, word choices, and voice, as well as a brief synopsis of why you made those changes and how they improved your writing.

Note: You do not have to rewrite the entire paragraph; small changes can still have a large impact!
