help with ENG 101 homework?

Does this make sense and what should my ending sentence be. I'm probably putting too much thought into this but my eng teacher is one tough cookie and i want to impress her.

In chapter one “The process of writing “, gives us a basic foundation of how to clearly convey a specific topic, idea or opinion through writing by using a few essential elements. Once you have written a rough draft it is important that you revise your paper making sure that the body of your paper supports the thesis statement. Be sure that the point you are trying to get across is accurate and easy to understand. Next, edit you paper to assure that your grammar is precise in meaning. Last but not least proofread your paper to assure that it is without flaw that means correcting any grammatical errors. Make sure you have crossed all tees and dotted all I’s.

Update:

Thank you all for your help and yes i am a freshmen and I know I suck at this, but I plan to work hard and get a passing grade. Thanks to all.

    Punctuation corrections only (well, a few word usage corrections):

    Unfortunately, you can never tell with some teachers and your paragraph sounds fine overall but you probably could make a few corrections.

    There should be a comma after an introductory phrase so a comma should be added after "draft." You could choose a different set of words other than "making sure." Perhaps, "ensuring" or simply rewording the whole sentence. There should be a comma after "last, and after "least." I think you want to pluralize "flaw" to "flaws" and I'm not sure, but I think you want to change the "that" after "flaw" to which and place a comma before it. There needs to be an apostrophe after the "e" in "tee's."

    Well, if you are American, the comma needs to be inside the quotation marks for chapter one's title, and I think you need to capitalize the "p" in "process" and the "w" in "writing."

    Also, I don't fully understand the scope of the homework. What is the assignment? What should this paragraph convey?

    When you say "idea or opinion," is this part of a series? If so, a comma should be after idea (an opinion is always an idea/thought, but an idea is not always an opinion). And don't take all my suggestions as law. This is just what I'd do if it was my paragraph, but again this is with a quick glance and it's 4am where I am. I hope, at least, this helps. good luck.

    P.S. The best way to get on an English/any teacher's good side is stay in their office constantly asking for help. That way, you'll know what they're looking for and fix it before you turn it in. Don't worry about looking dumb because any good teacher will help.

  • In chapter one, “The Process of Writing" gives a basic explanation of how to clearly convey a specific topic, idea or opinion through writing by using a few essential elements. Once the rough draft is written, it is important the draft gets revised. Making sure the body paragraphs support the thesis statement is crucial for a well developed paper. The body paragraphs will state the reasoning of the thesis, these paragraphs must be accurate and clear to the reader. For the last step, proofread the paper, checking for grammatical errors and spelling. This process will help reach the goal in writing a perfect paper.

    (hey your welcome, i recommend you talk to your teacher) your probably a freshman in college cause of the 101. Listen i removed alot of mistakes, stop using that and you, your, us) its better your teacher see your mistakes and help you with it.

    Well, if you really want to get with your English teacher, writing a grammatically correct essay is not the way to go about doing it. If I were you, I'd start by asking her for help with your homework. You know, ask her to meet you at a cafe, maybe grab lunch or some coffee. In fact, if you include several mistakes it will give you more to talk about over lunch. I think she'll appreciate your effort to learn and it might be empowering for her to teach to you. I'm not saying that you will always be forced into the submissive role, but at least in the beginning, you might prefer this since she is your superior at the English language. Trust me, I've met a lot of tough cookies in my day, and with enough effort you can crack anyone of them. ;-)

    your ending sentence could be, " If you follow these simple elements, your writing will become a work of genius" or something along the lines of that.

    It seems that the assignment was to state things in order without saying "And then, and then , and, also"

    It was well written, but maybe replace "be sure" with something more sophisticated.

    English is a wonderful subject, I wish you the best of luck in it. And if your teacher is a tough cookie, put the effort into the small assignments, she will notice =)♥

    you could upload the extra drain on supplies. that's envisioned that unlawful aliens interior america are utilising 10 million gallons of gas and someplace around 15 million gallons of heating oil a year. Many U.S. electorate help the unlawful aliens because of the fact they artwork for much less money; besides the undeniable fact that, those electorate are paying larger expenditures for hosital and scientific care becasue the illegasl do not pay and we make up the version. shall all of us artwork for lots much less if we did not ought to pay taxes, scientific expenses, insurance and issues maximum illegals do not pay. The illegals, even with the place they are from, are an embarresment and insult to the criminal immigrants who're better than welcome interior america. u.s. has constantly welcomed immigrants; they seem to be a factor of why america is what that's (we are all instructors, we are all scholars) and we ought to constantly do each and every thing we can to help criminal IMMIGRANTS come to Amerca and prevail. we don't desire ILLEGALS even with WHAT THEIR REASONING OR MOTIVATION IS!
