Things to Remember About Writing

 Writing

• be sure all sentences in a paragraph tell about one main idea.
• use sequence words like (before, then, next, etc. )  to tell the order of events.
  
• add -er or -est, more or most to adjectives to compare things.
• use exact details to make a description clearer.
• use facts to make your writing more infromative. Use opinions to tell how you feel.
• organize cause and effect paragraphs by stating a cause and then describing effects.
• know your purpose before you begin to write.

Revising

• use words that are exact to make your sentences clearer.
• combine short sentences to make your paragraphs smoother.
• vary your sentence lenghts; use some short sentences and some longer ones.
• use only one point of view at a time.
