Don't forget to write your name and date on your rewritten paragraph. Note: we're concentrating on having strong active verbs in the first sentence and thesis statement as well as steps 6 and 7.
1. Circle the prepositions (of, in, about, for, onto, into)
2. Draw a box around the "is" verb forms
3. Ask, "Where's the action?"
4. Change the "action" into a simple verb
5. Move the doer into the subject (Who's kicking whom?)
6. Eliminate any unnecessary slow wind-ups
7. Eliminate any redundancies.
