Esp. 203 GRAMMAR POINTS FOR COMP #1

Turn in this sheet with your comp. Use the numbers here to identify the points you have used. This will make it easier since you won’t have to write the grammar point on your comp – just the corresponding # - ex: #1, #2, #3 (NOT the GP #.) That is to help you locate the point in case you want to review it. Compositions in which grammar points are not underlined and identified will not be graded.
