How to Do Corrections for Ms. Falk

1. When you get your paper back, read through my comments. Below or around each of my comments, including the final one, write me one back. Consider it a conversation. 2. Find the Keables Codes and look up the proper rule. Write the title of the rule next to the code: e.g. C1=Independent Clauses. Correct the mistake on the paper in a different colored ink. 3. Use your corrections as a guide and print out a fresh copy of your essay with all the changes made. Staple this to the top of the packet and turn in by the day indicated on the upper right hand corner of the graded paper.

If you wish to revise, follow this procedure:

1. Do steps 1-2 above. 2. Make an appointment with me to conference your paper. No conference=no rewrite. 3. Come to see me with your questions/concerns clearly written somewhere on your paper for me to see. Do not bother to see me if you are unprepared. 4. After we have talked, do step 3 above, but highlight all areas that you have changed--even if they are full paragraphs. I need to see every place you revised something. 5. Turn in packet on or before the due date.

Rewrites mean rewrites--not a couple of grammar corrections and a few sentences. The changes you make must reflect significant development or it will not be considered for a new grade.

You may receive up to five percentage points for a timely, complete and well-considered revision.

On the other hand, late corrections will result in a point off of your final paper grade for every day they are late.
