Draft Workshop: Style

Annotated Bibliography

Apply the following questions to EACH annotation.  Give as much feedback as possible.

Style (precision and clarity)

  • Considering the word limitations (see the assignment sheet), has the author used the most precise words?
  • Has the author used the correct tense (review Allyn & Bacon's tips. See brown section on p. 727)?
  • Help the author eliminate "to be" verbs. [am, is, are, was, were, be, being, become, been]
