Traditional Grammar - Assignment 19 James Madison University

Instructions: [This is an OPTIONAL, GRADED or UNGRADED assignment.Submissions must be clearly marked on the first page as "GRADED" or "UNGRADED." Please staple together multiple pages.]
Specificially, you have these choices:
(1) Do not turn in this assignment, and have your overall grade for graded assignments be an average of the previous two graded assignments (You can still use the sentences for practice, of course; answers will be handed out); --OR--
(2) Choose just TEN sentences from this list of 25 that you think you have diagrammed the most perfectly and turn them in at or before the start of class time on Wednesday, 12/7 as a "GRADED" assignment.(Your total graded assignment average will then be based on all three assignments.) One extra sentence may be chosen for a possible five bonus points, but you must indicate which is the bonus sentence.
(IMPORTANT: If you choose this option, you may use your texts and your notes, but you MUST work alone. Each sentence is worth 10 points, and there will be partial credit only if the errors are quite minor. In other words, I will be looking for careful, comfident diagramming, and sentences with major problems will therefore not get credit. The bonus sentence must contain no errors to get credit.) --OR--
(3) Choose any TEN sentences to do for submission, but submit the assignment as an "UNGRADED" assignment. This option is also due by class time on 12/7.
