4.4 Construct/Deconstruct


Self-Assessment Instructions

Tyrone completed a draft of his proposal, “Construct/Destruct”, and he needs some help with editing. Because he knows that having a peer edit his work is an effective strategy, he wants you to apply your valuable input about grammar, spelling, awkward sentences, and paragraph structure to sections of his paper.

1.  Read two parts of Tyrone’s proposal (the background and rationale). Notice that lines are marked with numbers or letters to help you reference words or a sentence easily.

2.  Answer questions about Tyrone’s writing skills on one of the worksheets below: 


For help with editing, refer to information in “Time to Read” for specific pages in Communicate! and English Language Arts Handbook for Secondary Students.
