proper, then think of these questions:
Question:
• What other points in writing a persuasive essay did you miss that you need to
be reminded of?
•What errors did you find when you proofread your draft?
Answer:
What other points in writing a persuasive essay did you miss that you need to
be reminded of?
- State your claim clearly.
- Understand your audience well.
- Engage through emotions.
- Focus on one side of the argument.
- Use evidence to amplify your points.
- Keep organised.
- Use active language
What errors did you find when you proofread your draft?
- Homophones. Homophones( from the Greek words homo, meaning same, and phone, meaning sound ) are words that have the same sound but different meanings. They occur when we type quickly and because they don't look wrong, we don't see them. Unfortunately, spelling and grammar checkers won't spot these. Your on you're own here.
- There are so many potential inconsistencies, it's hardly surprising we miss a few. We don't spot them because individually they're not wrong. It's only when they occur again later in the document in a different form that a problem occurs.
- With apostrophes being used to show possession (belonging to something) and contraction (missing letter) it's know wonder some people get confused.
- Syntax is the arrangement of words and phrases to create well-formed sentences. Poor syntax is often due to missing a key word; sometimes it's simply the right words in the wrong order. Poor syntax is easy to miss because even poorly constructed sentences can still makes sense
