DeleteToday is a pretty easy day. All we did was present, blog, and brain stretcher.

DeleteI agree, the link was useful in showing me my small, but big, mistakes.
DeleteThe resource was very useful. Everyone makes mistakes, and it is best to learn from it.
DeleteEveryone makes mistakes. Everyone is not perfect in writing an essay.
DeleteThis source is very useful especially for me because I always get confused about A/An and now I know how to determine the difference. When writing my essay, I got confuse about advice/advise but I figured it out. Today we presented our last major essay and we learned a lot about it. Today was a good day.
ReplyDeleteI agree it was really useful! I too get very confused about a/an. This link helped me differentiate the difference between the two.
DeleteI agree it is indeed really useful. It helped me catch my mistakes.
DeleteI found out what mistakes I have been doing. Overall the link is very helpful.

DeleteThis resource was very useful, and I was also confused with some of the words in the list.
DeleteMy pea card always makes me positive except for the "stranger" comment but overall it is a nice card!
DeleteYes, I find this resource useful because it shows how you can use the words in a sentence and it also shows the differences of words that are related to each other such as "Jealous, Envious, Suspicious." I can apply this to my future writing in essays. Today, we presented our essays, post on blog site, and posting our essays on moodle.
ReplyDeleteYes, jealous and envious are often confused by user. It was very interesting when I figured out how each are suppose to be used.
DeleteI also found the resource useful! I too can apply this to essays i will do in the future!

Delete*In addition* The "PEA" is a small note that we passed around and wrote one positive thing about the person. It was a great way to make our day, especially if we are having a bad day.
DeleteI thought that the link was useful to show us what we should watch out for when writing or typing out work. Today in class we needed to present our Argumentative Essay Test #4 to the class. My essay topic was about drunk drivers and how much of a threat and danger they are to everyone on the road. I was also able to listen to my fellow classmates and their topics for their argumentative essay. I think this essay was not that easy compared to the other tests I needed to turn in. Mainly because I had a hard time finding the right research for it. I believe this was still a good topic to discuss and bring up because I just want to feel safe any time I would like to go out for a small drive.
ReplyDeleteI agree that this resource was useful! It would have definitely helped me out a lot with Test #4
DeleteYou wrote about a very interesting topic that is very important to people today.
DeleteI agree your topic is very interesting. I would like to read it sometime because that is a problem in today's society.
DeleteThis essay did require more work than the others. I mainly used online sources because of its convenience.
DeleteI completely agree, argumentative essays require more extensive research compared to the other major essays.
DeleteYou topic is very interesting.
DeleteWe also needed to do an essay brain stretcher in class and have fun doing it.
DeleteThe link provided was very useful. It show the common mistakes that everyone does when writing. I found out that I make a lot of common mistakes. Today, we shared our essays with the class. Overall today's activities were simple and fun.

DeleteI make a lot of mistakes when writing too. This link helped me find out about a lot of them.
DeleteIn addition, I looked at the PEA card and it was awesome. It brought my mood up. Overall, I'm happy.
DeleteI am guilty of making most of these mistakes such as having a difficult time choosing between present tense and past tense. This list will be very beneficial to me in any of my future essays. I will be able to make less mistakes than before. It's suddenly hitting me that the semester is almost over. This is the last major essay, besides the final reflection. I was able to do as much research as possible dealing with divorce. I believe that my essay is well thought out and more organized than my last essay. As I read the PEA, I realize how kind everyone in my class is. These kind words will help me whenever I feel down. (Thank you everyone!)
ReplyDeleteit's okay I make the same mistakes. I think everyone does most of the time.
DeleteI'm glad to hear that your essay turned out better than your last one. Hopefully my essay is better than my last one as well.
DeleteIt is sad that the semester is ending, but I will take what I've learned and use it towards future assignments.
DeleteI will admit, I also make many common mistakes on my essays. This link will really help me out a lot with future assignments!
DeleteI've been making so much mistakes as well! And the PEA definitely brightened me up as well. I never knew so much people thought I was sexy!

ReplyDeleteI also thought the link was very helpful. I am also planning on using the link for future writing assignments.
DeleteMost of the common mistakes are due to homophones. Homophones are words that are pronounced similarly to other words, such as there, their, and they’re. Some other mistakes can be caused by a similar definition. Words can have similar definitions, but one word can be more extreme than the other.
ReplyDeleteAs for my PEA, thank you everyone for your nice comments. I haven’t been thinking that I’m smart lately. I never really thought that I was nice or cool, so it brightens my day to see these things. Thanks again! You guys are awesome!
Today, we presented some things about our essay. Everyone had an interesting topic, and I learned different things today.
I agree, everyone wrote comments I didn't expect on my PEA. It's great to know what other think!
DeleteTrue, I have made mistakes with homophones very frequently. It is helpful knowing which words have the right definition to express your writing accuratly.
DeleteEveryone really did have an interesting topic. I agree, everyone was very nice on the PEA.
DeleteI found this resource very useful. I found out that I have been repeatedly making these mistakes, but it is never too late to learn and correct my mistakes. Today's activity was very interesting hearing everyone's topic and thesis.
ReplyDeleteI am with you on the repeatedly making the mistakes, but I will correct them now that I have this link to help.

DeleteI also found the link to be a good resource. I also liked hearing everyones thesis and topics.
DeleteAlso, I really appreciate all the nice things people said about me in the PEA.
DeleteReading through the rubric has made me realize the mistakes I've been doing. It is very helpful because not only does it improve grammar, but it also helps with being organized. Today’s activity was simple. I learned the significance and affects of my topic.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that it is helpful and improves your grammar.
DeleteI also agree that it helps with being organized. There is no organization if we don't know what words to use.
DeleteAlso, I'm glad we had a PEA activity with the class because I have learned what my classmates think about me.
DeleteThe rubric is very eye opening. There are mistakes that I have made in the past.
DeleteThe link posted of above is a very useful resource in my opinion because it shows you how to use words in the correct manner. A lot of people often use words in a sentence in a vague way. I am one of those people so this resource helped me realize that I need to think twice before I put words into sentences. My thoughts on today's class was good because we all finished our essays and everyone had interesting topics.
