 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * Students will study grammar rules and learn how different situations and audiences require different punctuation, word choice and formatting. They will learn procedures to help them find mistakes or weaknesses in their writing and others' writing: read out loud, peer edit, use grammar rules, and use dictionaries. Students will learn to use computer programs, but not to depend on them to fix grammatical errors. They will learn how to **use** grammar to enrich their writing and make their final drafts coherent. Their final project will show their ability to correct others' mistakes and to write a professional essay of their own. ||
