Unit 3 Project DW

The Dreaded Paramedic Method

Cut the lard from your project's introduction by dividing the paragraph's amongst your group members. Each group member should perform the Paramedic method on his/her paragraph(s) and post it to his her blog.

When you revise the U3P, consider what areas need to be developed and elaborated to make this introduction "rich and taut."

To refresh your memory, below are the steps for the Paramedic Method.

1. Highlight the prepositions in blue.
2. Highlight the "is" forms in red.
3. Ask, "Where is the action?" "Who's kicking who?"
4. Put this "kicking" action into a simple (not compound) active verb.
5. Start fast, no wind ups.
6. Remove unneccessary words.
7. Read the sentence, paragraph aloud.
8. Re-write and repeat.
