Welcome to Cycle 5, Spring 2011

Our last unit in Cycle 4 had to do with reading, understanding what you're reading and then drawing conclusions based on what you'd learned. The assignment required you to think about what the implications are for us, as we consider the disaster in Japan.

In writing, meaning is key, but form is also a necessary element. Form ensures that our writing communicates what we mean effectively.

What tools do we have at our disposal that help us to write well? We have our Rules of Comma Use, Rules of Apostrophe Use, and Spelling and Grammar Tips. Those are all available to the right of this post, under "Handouts." Let's use these tools to make sure our writing meets a minimum standard of good writing. Along with "development", these tools will ensure that we communicate effectively.
