After covering the remainder of Chapter 13, we took another practice quiz. We then looked at Chapter 3, which focuses on audience.
For next time, please review Chapters 3 and 13. I plan to give you a little more practice with Chapter 13. I also plan to have you begin a small group project based on Chapter 3 (with your group, you’ll be asked to choose one of the Alternative Projects on page 42).
One last assignment for next time: please read Chapter 9.
See you Friday!
Today we took a practice quiz on the first half of Chapter 13. We then reviewed the second half of Chapter 13. I will give another practice test on Wednesday.
Please continue to study the concepts presented in Chapter 13. Your test on Chapter 13 will be on Monday, February 4. See you soon.

Today we worked through the first half of Chapter 13. With a partner, students looked at a few assigned exercise items and completed them. Then each pair presented the assigned exercise items to the class, explaining the problem with the sentences and how to correct them. We covered Exercises 1-9 in Chapter 13 today. We will look at the remainder of Chapter 13 on Monday and take a test on Chapter 13 on Wednesday.
The Grammar Test and extra credit item are posted in Blackboard. These items will be available until Sunday night, January 27. You must have completed the test by then, or you will receive a zero for the assignment. Please email me on CampusCruiser if you have a problem with the test.
Have a wonderful weekend! Stay warm.
We continued working on our grammar pretests and additional practice exercises on the computer. Some students took the grammar test in Blackboard. Everyone was asked to look over Chapter 13 for the next class.
I was not here on this day, so students signed in and left for the day. I hope everyone enjoyed their day!
