YOUR NEXT ASSIGNMENT will be to make a Cheat Sheet. This Cheat Sheet will contain all the information you need to know about writing a basic school text, including centering, paragraphing, spelling, ellipsis, footnoting, hyphens, dashes: the list is endless.
Each Cheat Sheet should be individual in its approach; thus each will be different from any other student's, both in form and content.
A Cheat Sheet is for the student's needs; hence there is no point in doing it like someone else. Each student will have different weaknesses; and different ways to keep a record of wrong and correct ways of doing something.
It may be written out in sentence form with examples; there may just be an example. the equal sign may be used to link ideas, or typography may be used for the same purpose (novel, "poem," "song," emphasis, Name of Title at top of page, etc.).
In addition to composing this Cheat Sheet, you will also go to the front of the class and lecture on each item, informing your classmates about which information you're reminding yourself in your Cheat Sheet.
You will use the Communication Triangle in composing your Cheat Sheet (in fact, you may wish to include the CT in your Cheat Sheet). You will use the CT by asking yourself what, as a writer, you would need to know, assuming you wrote a good and comprehensive composition, including footnotes, references to newspapers, etc.
