  1. Correct Conventions Writing that LOOKS good!

  2. 1. Looks clean, edited, and proofread. • Professional looking • New paper • No creases • No pencil/pen marks, etc.

  3. 2. No glaring errors that distort the message or distract the reader. • My nme is mrs., waymna. • Yikes! That is very distracting!

  4. 3. Errors to watch for: • I: Spelling is correct on simple words, correct or close on difficult words. • II: Punctuation is correct and not misleading at the end and middle of sentences. • III: Paragraphs for new topics, new speakers. • IV: Quotation marks to set off dialogue. • V: Capitals on all proper nouns and to begin all sentences. • VI: Noun-verb agreement is correct. • VII: No shifts in tense (said, says, saying, etc.) Keep it consistent. • VIII: Layout has eye appeal.

  6. Clear Presentation “Wow! That looks good!”

  7. 1. The layout of my work helps the flow of ideas. • Paragraphs are clear • Order is recognizable for the kind of writing presented: • Recipe • Poem • Short story • Newspaper article • Etc.

  8. 2. Margins frame my work • Simple! At least .5” margins; no more than 1 ½”.

  9. 3. I have used effective Fonts. Effective (easy to read): • Lovely • Happy • Orange Not Effective (too hard to read): • Lovely • Happy • Orange

  10. 4. My layout is easy on the eyes. Bad Example Good Example “Murder Or Be Murdered” Don’t be a murderer like me For you shall see That you will pay a fee Not a fee of money For money is funny But a fee of pain For your blood will drain Murder or be murdered Is murder the lesser of the two evils? • “Murder Or Be Murdered” Don’t be a murderer like me For you shall see That you will pay a fee Not a fee of money For money is funny But a fee of pain For your blood will drain Murder or be murdered Is murder the lesser of the two evils?

  11. 5. My pictures and graphs connect with the text. • Bad Example: • Newspaper article with the headline: HUNTING SEASON BEGINS! **See how the picture does NOT match with the headline?

  12. 6. If handwritten… • Handwriting is neat and easy to read. • Black or blue ink.

  13. 7. (add a bullet point on your notes for this one) Looks good and like you took pride In your work. • Fresh paper. • No creases or folds. • No smudges. • No pencil marks, etc.
