Level 3 Reading Assignments

[Ruby]

Hi Students,

By the time you've gotten to this level, we already know you can write. This level is a place to push yourself, to apply tools and techniques to make your writing even better.

The following reading assignments are a must. They will help you work on things like:

• Grammar nits that change the meaning of the sentence
• Story layout for easy readability
• Passive versus active story telling – also called “telling versus showing”
• Checking for consistency of action and descriptions
• Pacing

Essays that must be read.
