Michael,

Your writing is coming along well...  The items hi-lighted in blue go
to links for those topics.  There is one printable document included.

Your basic sentence structure, punctuation, and grammar are improving.
The details you use are helpful, and the range of your writing is impressive. 

We will continue to work on tense, wordiness, and syntax.  As is normal, you
are having some ongoing problems with pronouns.  When we get these dialed in,
including sentence structure, articles, and prepositions...  your writing (doc) will
become more effective!

I am glad we got to review some principles of rhetoric (the art of communication),
so that you can more effectively state your main idea, smoothly move between paragraphs
with transitions between ideas, and provide support and evidence for your ideas.

Here are some resources on Proofreading, Editing, and wordiness.

While I have updated all your pages, here is a summary of the areas we need to study
according to importance. (rated by how often you make errors in these areas)

Here is a new vocabulary resource.  This is week one... let you know me what you think about it.
