Class: November 9, 2010

Word! Today's class focused on Ross-Larson's advice about words. Let's start by doing a little writing about this prompt:
  1. What's the best advice in Ross-Larson's word section?
  2. What's the advice that you most needed personally or the rule that your blog breaks the most?
  3. Find three examples on your blog of a place where you should have taken Ross-Larson's advice.
After we discuss your responses, I'm giving you a chance to write another post in class. This time, I want you to write trying to follow the advice on words as closely as possible. As you compose your post and after you finish the draft, check it carefully to ensure that all of your words are carefully and deliberately chosen.

UPDATE: Read Concise Writing on the Purdue OWL. Use this to edit the draft of your post online.
