1. Write a well developed, five paragraph essay in which you answer the following question:
"Who would you like to vote for for president, and why?
Remember, these should include not only your opinion, but why you hold your opinions. Develop these reasons in the three body paragraphs of the essay.
Try to write all five paragraphs in an hour and a half, and then spend an hour revising and proofreading. When you proofread, try out one of the techniques you haven't used as yet.

PS You should shoot for paragraphs five sentences long or longer. At a minimum, a paragraph needs to be three sentences long.
PPS Remember to vary your sentence structure and to identify the independent clause in each sentence. Finally, use the rules discussed in a previous post to make sure you use commas properly. If you can identify the independent clauses in your writing, you can place your commas correctly. No more guessing.
