    Grammar is pretty confusing for some people, including myself. After reviewing link, I found it to be very useful. Reading on common mistakes made me realize that I have a lot common mistakes when using certain words in my writing. Grammar can be very useful in creating strong essays. I hope that I can refer back to this link when I start drafting my essays. Tuesday's class, I learned the breakdown of comparing and contrasting subjects. Learning about the 4 P's was a new to me. I hope to use this information to create strong compare and contrast essays in the future.

    We all mistakes in the grammar side of writing. Sometimes the simplest thing can be a mistake without even knowing it. This resource was useful. It showed the common mistakes that I usually make in my essays. We learned about the 4 P's on tuesday's class.

    Making mistakes in our essay, is a big deal. Writing essays as a replacement test is a serious thing. I mean thats a huge grade right there. that's why we learn the possible ways to correct our mistakes and make it right. Today in class it was okay. I had a good time also during the little activity we had in class, it was okay. I like that.

    Wow, I'm a bit late for the blog, oh well. (XD) Mistakes in grammar are one of the common errors we unintentionally make when we make our essays and even when we talk. We'll be able to avoid this error through constant practice and review. I also agree that today's class was really fun and interesting. The activities we did today were really helpful and I learned a lot on classification and more. Also I'm guilty of being one the interruptions but it was really funny, so yeah worth it.

    I found the site to be useful, but then again sometimes we get confused on which word to use when writing our essay. Today's class was fun, but when we did the clustering exercise it was hard. I liked the brain stretcher, because everyone came up with creative stories.

    It was very useful because it helped me understand the differences between the two common misused words. Today, or technically on Thursday, we shared a lot about our tickets of the essay brain stretcher. it was wild and great!
