Week 1 
Several hundred years ago, in an obscure kingdom, tucked away among the alps, rained a decorous and dignified King. Ruling Monarch in a line of Monarchs that stretched back to the middle ages.
King Morton esteemed values, and he would have none of this recent drivel of
dropping “Sir” and Madam when addressing ones elders. Nor could he
tolerate modern jargon “sweet” should refer to pastry’s; cool ought too
refer too the temperature; good night should be a nighttime parting.
He became livid on the subject of modern gadgets. Just so much folderol in his opinion. Because downloading movies on iPods would guarantee eye problem’s when children reached his distinguished age.
Moreover didnt they realize cell phones were intended for emergencies only. Only yesterday the palace accountant had vehemently, complained two him that the youngest of his 2 daughters had racked up 1000 text messages on her cell phone—in a single month!
Week 2
- Avoid starting sentences with coordinating conjunctions (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so). "Fix" the sentences so that they do NOT start with coordinating conjunctions
- Be careful with verb tenses! They should remain consistent.
- Use -er to compare two things and -est to compare three or more things (warmer, warmest).
- VARSITY: Review the #5 adverb clause opener and its comma rule. See the Appendix page A-5. Varsity students should underline adverb clause dress-ups only when they occur within a sentence (not the first word).

Never one to obey anyone to say nothing of His Royal Highness himself she would escape from the nursery to find mischeif wherever she could. Once she stealed into the throne room, swinging on the chandelier’s, and landing at the feet of the scandalized courtiers.
And another time, she upset the prestigious new
employee in the kitchen the Iron Chef himself, he was experimenting
with sturgeon roe ice cream when she sneaked a taste making a wry face
at the concoction.
