Task 5: Things to Revise & Learn

 Dear all,

I asked you in class today what some of the things are you'd like to revise or study as regards the theory of writing. The book I added the picture of is a very useful resource for it, with such topics covered as Writing with style, Reading to learn, Mastering the college essay and many more. I have it in my professional library and am sharing its Table of Contents with you so that you would look through it during this week and let me know, which sections you would like to cover this semester.

      thanks for letting me know. I'll take it into account.

      As a reminder: do not forget about adding a space b/w the numbered item list and the points: e.g. 1) Checking Mechanics
