Review of Capitalization Rules (Again!)

We have talked about capitalization rules many times in class. Please save Kevin a lot of stress by remembering the 4 basic capitalization rules. Following the rules means you don't put capital letters anywhere you like in a sentence. You only put them where a rule requires them.

1. Capitalize the first word in a sentence.
* Please note that this means you DON'T capitalize the 2nd word in a sentence unless there is another rule that says you have to!

2. Capitalize names. This includes names of people, cities, countries, universities, holidays, etc.

3. Capitalize the pronoun "I".
* Please note that you DON'T capitalize "it" unless it is the first word in a sentence.

4. Capitalize titles
* Please capitalize every word, not just the first word.

Here are actual examples from the last essay. Find the errors and correct them.
