Writing Assignment: Summarizing PSAT preps 1 through 12

Because of technical difficulties in iLearn and unwanted intrusions in Google meeting, class work will be conducted by email, blog, and Google Classroom, until further notice. 

By the end of this week, the twelve PSAT preps should have been completed (after all, PSAT prep 1 was posted March 21 and prep 12, April 3).   However, proof of their completion will not be the various documents that have been created.  To receive credit for the PSAT preps, complete a writing assignment focusing on summarizing the work completed in the preps, following this format:

  1. Identify the grammatical, stylistic, or test-taking advice given in each prep.  If more than one advice is given, choose the advice that is most useful to you. 
  2. Give an example of how the advice is to be applied on the PSAT exam.
  3. Explain the example. 

For example, PSAT prep 1 should be written this way:

The advice given in PSAT prep 1 is to “use only necessary words to express and idea.”  For example, instead of writing “Playing football is really quite popular,” simply write “Playing football is popular” because the words “really quite” add no additional meaning to “popular.”
