For this assignment, you are your grammar & style group will create a tip sheet on a specific grammar demon or style stealer.

Collaborative guidelines:

Your group must use Googledocs

Your document wiki page should collate resources on this grammar topic.
Group members are responsible for contributing one example from their own writing in English 1A, selecting examples from their papers that use the grammar or style rule incorrectly and then correctly. Please do not simply copy an example from an outside source (to do so would be considered plagiarism). You may, however, make up an example of your own.
Use the Writing Lab Grammar Sheets as a guide for the structure of your own sheet.
