FROM NOTES TO SENTENCES II

Information: Usually notes taken for a report are not written in sentence form. We jot them down quickly and in no specific order. First, you should organize the notes according to a plan. Then you should re-write them in complete sentences.

DIRECTIONS: Read the notes listed below. Re order the notes in the order that you think they happened. SAVE as DOCK. Then rewrite the notes in complete sentences and post on your WIKI as DOCK. Remember to ask yourself three questions:

1. Are there any missing words, capital letters, or punctuation?
2. Can I combine any of these notes into one sentence?
3. Can I add any supplementary information or words?
