Sentence Fluency For Freshman

Here are the questions to use for feedback on the Flat World Project this week:
1. Highlight the beginnings of sentences. Are there too many "th" words? Suggest different sentence structures.
2. What is your favorite moment based on how the essay sounds? Why? (this works for podcasted stories or for required read-aloud.)
3. Do the pace and style of sentences match the content of the story? Discuss specific examples.
4. Are there repetition of words and/or the same kinds of sentences? Is there a strategic reason or can it be deleted?
