putting all your boxes together to create 3 formal

transitional words or phrases that you need to help
make it all flow. (You can readjust sentences, if
necessary.)
​Check to see if you should add anything to help
make your paper stronger
​ Spellcheck, grammar check
​I didn’t use first person
​Check that you didn’t use dead words; replace at
least 2 words with something new
​Check that your name is on this
​Print it out and turn it into Mrs. Stoumbaugh’s box
