Let’s Tackle the Essay – Rough Draft Edition!

It is now time to write the rough draft. It is important to remember that each number or letter on your outline gets its OWN sentence. There is no combining them.

Focus on making sentences and ideas flow – And don’t forget the 1/5 rule.

A noun names a person, place, thing, or idea. If a word can wear a name tag—or you can point to it, count it, or talk about it—it’s probably a noun.

Quick ways to spot a noun
  • The article test
  • Pronoun swap
  • Counting/amount: Can you count it or measure it?
  • Preposition check: Does it fit after a preposition
Tricky spots to watch

– Capitalization: Proper nouns get capitals: Monday, Google, Africa.
– Abstract & noncount nouns: trust, courage, usually no plural
– Verb vs. noun look-alikes: Run (verb): We run daily. Run (noun): I went for a run.
– Possessives vs. plurals:
students (plural) vs. student’s (one student owns) vs. students’ (many students own)
