Block 1A: Revise your essay. Download rubric from attachment below. Do these two things: (1) check the essay that you wrote. Go through the checklist / rubric. Mark the items on the rubric as yes or no. (2) Make changes to your essay for all of the items that you marked as no.
On your revised copy, underline the subject of each sentence once and the predicate of each sentence twice. You must do this for all of your sentences.
