Press the help button above to view a series of video tutorials we will use in freshman English to improve your writing. Corresponding to the videos, is an alphabetized list below of the 50 most common errors in freshman writing. In addition to these "Shifty Fifty," are comment codes for more advanced sophomore and honors-level writers.
You are expected to target each weak area in your writing, investigate how to improve in that area, and revise accordingly to avoid repeating the same mistakes. To support you in your dedication to self-improvement, I have included links to helpful websites for each target area. Use them. Practice by applying what you learn here to help yourself improve as a writer. The helpful links to each type of error are just a start. You are expected to research additional sources and practice until you fully understand the error, why you make it, how to fix it, and how to avoid it in the future. Keep track of your improvement using this sheet. Everything on this webpage is meant to complement the daily language practice exercises and answers. |
