Terri Barragan Advanced Academics Instructional Specialist, Ysleta ISD

Essay Revision and Editing Standard English conventions

Punctuation

The student will edit text as necessary to ensure conformity to the conventions of standard written English grammar, usage, and punctuation.

In this chapter, students will determine whether and where commas are needed to set off or separate adjectives and parenthetical elements in sentences.

Sentence Revision, Editing, and Completion Conventions of punctuation The student will edit and complete sentences as needed to ensure conformity to the conventions

TEKS ALIGNMENT E1.9 Composition: listening, speaking, reading, writing, and thinking using multiple texts— writing process. The student uses the writing process recursively to compose multiple texts that are legible and use appropriate conventions. The student is expected to:

SLIDE 258.1

Give students 5 minutes to complete the warm-up question.

SLIDE 258.2

1. The correct answer is B. Choice A is incorrect because the phrase frolicking over fields of coral describes what the stingrays have been seen doing and is the object of the verb, so it should not be separated with a comma. Choice C is incorrect because it does not include a comma after wings to correctly separate the parenthetical element from the rest of the sentence. Choice D is incorrect because the adverbial phrase over fields of coral should not be separated from the verb frolicking. Choice B is correct because it correctly separates the parenthetical element twirling and flapping their wings from the rest of the sentence using commas.

(D) edit drafts using standard English conventions, including: (v) punctuation, including commas, semicolons, colons, and dashes to set off phrases and clauses as appropriate.

LEARNING TARGETS 1. Identify and punctuate equal adjectives in a sentence.

2. Locate and punctuate parenthetical elements in a sentence.

Cover Page:

3. Use the comma placement inconsistencies among answer choices as a way to identify potential equal adjectives or parenthetical elements.

Includes a summary of what topic will be discussed in the chapter and a preview of student workbook activities.

Chapter 15: Combining Sentences

Groundwork

TSIA2 Mastery: ELAR

Application

In this section, students will review two unconcise sentences and examine a solution that eliminates the problem.

Another common obstacle that can send readers stumbling through a sentence is wordiness. What happens when a sentence is too wordy?

It’s hard to figure out what it’s saying.

EXERCISE B

SLIDE 130.3

Editing out extra words is only effective if we don’t cut out the important stuff. Imagine trying to cut the tag off of a new shirt and ending up with no sleeves and a hole across the shoulders. We need to pull it back and just cut the stuff we don’t want.

Did the writer get it right in sentence 6?

Yes, it’s concise without losing important information.

SLIDE 130.1

We like our writing like we like our lectures: short and to the point. No one wants to listen to someone ramble, and adding all kinds of extra fluff to a sentence only gets in the way of what we’re trying to say. For example, let’s look at the first draft in number 4. Who’d like to read that for us?

“Muckraker” was a term referring to journalists who advocated for reform. “Muckraker” was also a word applied to Upton Sinclair, who was a journalist who investigated the unhygienic practices of meatpacking plants.

THE APPROACH When you are challenged to correctly punctuate descriptive words and phrases on the test, use the following steps …

1. Locate equal adjectives or parenthetical elements, if any appear.

2. Eliminate answer choices that contain incorrect comma placement.

By focusing on just the important details, the writer was able to communicate everything they wanted to without overcomplicating it with extra wordiness. Concision at its best.

10. Which version of the sentence below is punctuated correctly?

Cephalopods, a class of animals that includes octopuses and squids possess three separate hearts that pump oxygen-rich, blue-colored blood throughout their bodies.

A

Whoa. That’s a lot of information crammed in there, and trying to pull out the details is a little like trying to untangle a ball of old Christmas lights. It’s definitely not fun and even a little frustrating. What about the first draft makes it not concise?

It’s repetitive. The sentence says muckraker and journalist more than once.

(as it is now)

B Cephalopods, a class of animals that includes octopuses and squids, possess three separate hearts that pump oxygen-rich, blue-colored blood throughout their bodies.

C

Cephalopods, a class of animals that includes octopuses and squids possess three separate hearts that pump oxygen-rich blue-colored blood throughout their bodies.

D Cephalopods a class of animals that includes octopuses and squids possess three separate hearts that pump oxygen-rich, blue-colored blood throughout their bodies.

All the information is spread out across two sentences in such a way that the writer is getting repetitive when they really don’t need to be. How can they fix this?

They can edit it out of the sentence.

SLIDE 130.2

Let’s see if they managed to do that in number 5. Is that sentence more concise?

Yes.

Groundwork:

Application:

Scaffolded instruction builds understanding of the standard.

Students learn about test-specific strategies— identifying question types, eliminating incorrect answers, and double-checking their work—and practice applying them.

But something went wrong. Why is this first revision not quite right?

It lost a lot of information.

Practice SLIDE 108.1

Wrap-Up SLIDE 265.1

Give students 10 minutes to complete the practice set.

Give students 5 minutes to complete the wrap-up question.

SLIDE 108.2

SLIDE 265.2

1. The correct answer is D. Choice A is incorrect because it is an example of recycled words, using words like reasonable and fair to make it seem appealing. Choice B is incorrect because it is an outlier; benefits for local governments are not mentioned in either passage. Choice C is incorrect because it is a distractor. Though it seems possible that the author of Passage 2 would not agree with the author of Passage 1, there is no evidence to support the idea that the author of Passage 2 thinks the opposing author is purposely distorting and exaggerating their information. Choice D is correct because the author of Passage 2 explains how the equal tolling of drivers would be more challenging for the lower earner, who would have a more difficult time budgeting $50 each month to account for their driving needs, a fact that is unacknowledged in Passage 1.

2. The correct answer is A. Choices B and D are incorrect because naval officer is an adjectival phrase that should not be separated with a comma. Choice C is incorrect because the phrase the son of a naval officer father and Spanish-speaking mother should not be separated with a comma because it describes Franco as the son of a father and … mother.

Choice A is correct because it correctly offsets the parenthetical element the son of a naval officer father and Spanish-speaking mother from the sentence using commas.

SLIDE 108.3

2. The correct answer is C. Choice A is incorrect because it is a distractor. The author does not specifically compare toll roads to non-toll roads. Choice B is incorrect because it contains recycled words, such as small, equal fee and budget. Choice D is incorrect because it is an outlier. The passage does not discuss the happiness of drivers in correlation to shorter commutes. Choice C is correct because the passage explains how those who drive the most pay the most because they use the road more frequently, which supports the idea that the cost of repairs is being spread equally among all drivers.

Jana Jones Secondary School Design CCMR Coordinator, Garland ISD

Student Sharyland High School, TX

Student TRIO Upward Bound Abilene Christian University, TX

“Having a Boot Camp before you take a test like the TSI or SAT reboots your brain and has you reflect upon information that you haven’t gone over or don’t remember exactly. This will provide future success and more opportunities.”

Student Shoemaker High School, TX
