Sentence Review/Test

In class, writing has gotten much easer for Clay, and I know he understands the material we've covered. But that hasn't been translating into the paragraphs he's been writing. His first drafts are filled with run-on and incomplete sentences. So, just to be sure, I had him write sentences for me today to see where he is. I couldn't have been more pleased with the results. With the exception of a few spelling mistakes, he did very well, which proves my theory that he's not concentrating when he writes his paragraphs. We now have an agreement and I expect he'll pay better attention to his writing in the future.
