Redundancy
So often students repeat themselves, using different words, in order to fulfill an assigned essay's word count requirement. But the ideas expressed are what's important, not the number of words. This exercise teaches students to omit redundancies from their writing, while keeping their ideas intact.
Redundancy
This worksheet helps middle and high school students improve their writing skills by teaching them to avoid redundancy by expressing themselves clearly and concisely.
This worksheet (complete with an answer key) involves a number of tasks vital to avoid redundancy. After a brief written discussion on the topic, students are asked to find redundant elements within a series of provided sentences. They first learn to break down sentences and analyze meaning therein before identifying redundant components in each and choosing which to remove or keep. They must also keep an eye out for obvious or self-evident information that should be removed. As such, this material works on writing skills like avoiding redundancy, while also working on language skills like semantic breakdowns of sentences.
