How do you evaluate a text while proofreading?

English
1 answer:
andrezito [222]3 years ago
8 0
While you are proofreading the text for grammar mistakes, you could evaluate the text by asking yourself the following questions.
 
What is the main idea?
What is the writer trying to say?
What rhetorical devices does the author use?
Did the writer organize his essay so that the reader will not be confused?
Was the writer able to bring about his point?
Did the introduction help start off the essay?
Did the writer conclude appropriately?
Did the writer use appropriate transitions to link ideas?

It will be hard evaluating and proofreading an essay at the same time as humans cannot multitask. I suggest doing them both separately.

What is the primary purpose of the couplet in this
ElenaW [278]
What is the primary purpose of the couplet in this
sonnet?
Where art thou, Muse, that thou forget'st so long
To speak of that which gives thee all thy might?
Spend'st thou thy fury on some worthless song,
Darkening thy power to lend base subjects light?
Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem
In gentle numbers time so idly spent;
Sing to the ear that doth thy lays esteem
And gives thy pen both skill and argument.
Rise, restive Muse, my love's sweet face survey,
If Time have any wrinkle graven there;
If any, be a satire to decay,
And make Time's spoils despised every where.
Give my love fame faster than Time wastes life;
So thou prevent'st his scythe and crooked knife.
- "Sonnet 100,
William Shakespeare
The purpose is to show the poet's belief in a grim
reaper who wields a scythe.
The purpose is to complete the 14 lines required to
make the poem a sonnet.
The purpose is to add a twist to the ideas about
time described in the three quatrains
The purpose is to inspire a poem that will help the
speaker's beloved become famous and live forever.

Drag the tiles to the boxes to form correct pairs. Not all tiles will be used.
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

√You would not walk away while someone was talking without saying anything → to explain how one can strengthen personal relationships.

√This habit is hurting relationships and shortening attention spans → to explain why attention to one's phone can hurt relationships.

√Without eye contact, it is nearly impossible to be fully engaged in the conversation → to provide a solution to the problem of preoccupation with cell phones.

Explanation:

I have been able to match the purpose of each statement from the text to the text statement itself.

The text statement in the 1st tile actually explains how one can strengthen personal relationships. The habit of walking away from people will strain relationships. The text statement in the 2nd tile explains that if one is obsessed with his phone without giving attention to people, it can actually hurt relationships. The text statement in the 3rd title actually provides a solution to the problem of preoccupation with cell phones which says that eye contact is necessary and without it, one cannot fully engage in a conversation.
