Collaborative+Writing+Roles


 * Grammar Hammer **
 * Find mistakes in grammar: sentence fragments, run-ons, subject/verb agreement issues, capitalization, comma usage, coordinating conjunctions, or any other grammar mistakes.
 * Highlight each mistake with the comment feature and give the rule or suggestion in the comment box.


 * Content Commander**
 * Highlight empty sentences in Yellow.
 * An empty sentence is a sentence that says too little.
 * The sentence may be complete with all the right words in all the right places, but need ideas.
 * Empty sentences should be deleted by the author or rewritten to add more substance to the paper.
 * Give suggestions on content and ask questions that point the group towards richer ideas and key points.
 * Example: I like that you talked about the lack of tax dollars Rome had, but have you thought about researching how that effected their military?


 * Special Forces: Format Unit**
 * Paper should follow MLA format: in-text citations, works cited, heading, title, paragraphs, sentences, and transitions into quotes.
 * Give suggestions to help the group's format.


 * Focus Fan!!**
 * This editor should concentrate on focus.
 * Does the introduction have a thesis that is supported by each body paragraph?
 * Does the introduction do a good job introducing the paper, does it seem like it introduces another paper altogether?
 * Does each body paragraph have a topic sentence?
 * Do certain sentences get off topic?
 * Do paragraphs try to tackle too much, so they seem like a jumble chowder?
 * Give suggestions for the group to help their focus.
