This assignment is about proofreading. I suggest that before you tackle this assignment, be sure you’ve read chapter 6 and the Handbook at the back of the book starting on page 611.
This email message has 10 errors. Identify each error by word or phrase, tell me what type of error it is and finally, correct it. For example, consider this sentence: Write a few sentences about the corections youve made.
If you apply the rules of this assignment to that sentence, your answer would be this:
corections (identity of the error) – spelling (type of error) – corrections (correction of the error)
youve (identity of the error) – punctuation (type of error) – you have or you’ve (correction of the error)
Here is a hint: there are 10 errors in the email.
Here is another hint. I am providing a list of the error types that are used. An error type may be used more than once. If you think you’ve found an error type that is not listed here, use it rather than not identifying the error at all.
spelling
abbreviations
clarity
capitalization
need connectivity of phrases

After reading chapter 7,8, and 9 viewing all the associated content, write a seperate paragraph (five sentences) for each chapter. First, identify something you learned that you didn’t know before you read in each chapter. In the next two sentences, describe the topic or concept. Pretend that I don’t anything about it. Then, in the final two sentences, relate this new knowledge to your world (something specific) and/or the world in which we live (something more general).

This week, you’ll write an email message, then critique the email messages that two of your fellow students wrote.
First, write the message. Assume I am an administrator at Compton College. You have become frustrated with the parking situation on campus because you can never find a spot. Over the first few weeks of the semester, you’ve noticed many cars parked without proper parking stickers but with no citations in evidence on the windshields. You wish to suggest that something be done about this.
In your email, identify and describe the problem. Speculate briefly on why you think the problem exists including your observations about the vehicles parked in violation of posted regulations. Offer suggestions on how to solve or improve the situation.
You will probably need at least two sentences to identify and describe the problem including its adverse impact as you perceive it. You will likely need another three sentences to speculate about the causes and no less than four sentences for your suggestions. You may separate these sentences into 2 or 3 paragraphs. Due 9/26Be sure to take all sides into account. The Facilities Department constraints, for example, or required parking accommodations that you may know nothing about, etc.
