Reminders: Traits of Good Writing
Please remember to check for these items when revising:
1. Do NOT use the following: I think, I feel, I believe, In my opinion... (Remove them and make a statement instead of weakening it with an opinion.)
2. Do NOT use any second person pronouns (you, your, yours, yourself). This is NOT a How-To paper.
3. Do NOT use any first person pronouns (I, we, us, me, our, ours . . . )
4. Do NOT start any sentences with "here" or "there." Find an appropriate subject and rearrange your sentence.
5. Do not talk about your paper in your paper. For example, do NOT say, "In this paper, I am going to tell you about..." "In this paragraph, you will learn about..."
***When you write about literature like a story, you MUST use PRESENT TENSE throughout the paper unless a direct quote from the story uses another tense. Literature is a "living being" and is not in the past.
