This is the tape-in information for the composition books:
Errors from the Book-of-the-Month Assessment
Tape this into your composition book under “Editing.” You will copy errors from your book of the month assignment into your composition book. Clearly label which type of error each is. These are the types of errors you will copy.
o comma splice (Copy the two sentences that are hooked together incorrectly with a comma.)
o run-on (Copy the two sentences that are run together when they should be separate.)
o sentence fragments (also just called fragments) (Copy the fragment, and if there is one, the sentence that it should be hooked onto.)
o apostrophe errors (Copy the phrase it is in, such as “Aunt Annie’s alligator.”)
o subject-verb agreement Copy the part of the sentence that has an agreement error. Example:
“The boys is late for class.” You’d copy “boys is late.” (Of course, that should be “The boys are late. . . “)
