3.2 Discussion Informal Report on one chapter from Part Four

3.2 Discussion

Q Select one chapter from Part Four, Appendix B of our text book, "Revision Guide: Sentences, Punctuation, and Mechanics." Then, using the concepts discussed in Chapter 10, write an informal report as an MS Word doc that you will share with the class in this Discussion to teach them about the Part Four chapter you selected. Your task is to provide a brief summary of the chapter you chose and at least three of your own examples that demonstrate the concepts in the chapter. Be sure to use proper format for an informal report as discussed in Chapter 10. The point here is to provide information on one aspect of sentence-level revision, punctuation, or mechanics so you and your classmates do not have to read all the chapters from Part Four themselves.
