 B. Modeling

Here are the tips in revising writing for clarity.

1.Explain the revising process explicitly: provide specific, meaningful goals for the
revision and/or clearly identify the audience.

2. Model the strategy with think-alouds. This can be achieved by displaying one writing
sample on a chart and using that sample to model and discuss how to revise the paper
in a way that would improve it.

3. Provide guided practice with feedback. This can be done through peer editing and
through meaningful teacher–student dialogue. These collaborative efforts reinforce the
understanding that writing is a social process in which a message is created for an
audience.

4. Gradually work toward independent mastery by students.

C.Discussion

A. Use of punctuation marks

Punctuation is used to create sense, clarity and stress in sentences. You use
punctuation marks to structure and organise your writing.

1.The period (.) is placed at the end of declarative sentences, statements thought to be
complete and after many abbreviations.

As a sentence ender: Jane and Jack went to the market.

After an abbreviation: Her son, John Jones Jr., was born on Dec. 6, 2008.

2.Use a question mark (?) to indicate a direct question when placed at the end of a
sentence.

When did Jane leave for the market?

3.The exclamation point (!) is used when a person wants to express a sudden outcry
or add emphasis.

Within dialogue: “Holy cow!” screamed Jane.

To emphasize a point: My mother-in-law's rants make me furious!

4.Comma -is used to show a separation of ideas or elements within the structure of a
sentence. Additionally, it is used in numbers, dates and letter writing after the salutation
and closing.
 Direct address: Thanks for all your help, John.

Separation of two complete sentences: We went to the movies, and then we went out
to lunch.

Separating lists or elements within sentences: Suzi wanted the black, green, and
blue dress.

4.Semicolon (;)- is used to connect independent clauses. It shows a closer relationship

between the clauses than a period would show.

John was hurt; he knew she only said it to upset him.

5. Colon (:) has three main uses. The first is after a word introducing a quotation, an
explanation, an example, or a series.

6. Hyphen is used to join two or more words together into a compound term and is not
separated by spaces. For example, part-time, back-to-back, well-known.

7.Parentheses ( ( ) ) are curved notations used to contain further thoughts or qualifying

remarks. However, parentheses can be replaced by commas without changing the
meaning in most cases.

8. Apostrophe (') is used to indicate the omission of a letter or letters from a word, the
possessive case, or the plurals of lowercase letters.Examples of the apostrophe in use
include:

Omission of letters from a word: I've seen that movie several times. She wasn't the
only one who knew the answer.

Possessive case: Sara's dog bit the neighbor.

Plural for lowercase letters: Six people were told to mind their p's and q's.

9.Quotations marks (“ ”) are a pair of punctuation marks used primarily to mark the
beginning and end of a passage attributed to another and repeated word for word. They
are also used to indicate meanings and to indicate the unusual or dubious status of a
word.

"Don't go outside," she said.

Single quotation marks (') are used most frequently for quotes within quotes.

B. Use of transition words in writing for clarity

 Transitions or signal words help you, the reader, follow the direction of a writer’s
thought. They are like signposts on the road that guide the traveler.

1.first of all- before anything else

2.furthermore- in addition

3.lastly-the item at the end

4.secondly-in the second place

5.second-coming next after the first position in space ot time

6.sequence-following of one thing after another in time.

7.cronological- relating to or arranged according to temporal order

8.eventually- after an specified period of time or a long delay.

9.immediately- without delay or hesitation

10.initially-at the beginning

11.preceding-existing or coming before

12.subsequently-happening at a time later than the other time

13.suddenly- happening unexpectedly

14.spite-meaness

15.nevertheless-despite anything

16.contrary-exact opposition

17.regardless- in spite of everything

18.consequently-as a result

19.example- an item of information that is typical or group

20.specifically- in distinction from others

21.certainly-definitely or positively

22.obviously-unmistakably
