The resource was very helpful because I make these mistakes myself. This served as a perfect example of a refresher, and I will be sure to look back at this resource when I am "incredulous" to any word, or phrase.
ReplyDeleteToday's in class activities went well. I personally liked the brain stretcher because everyone had their own perspective, and it was quite entertaining. :)
This was a great refresher and I also liked the brain stretcher
DeleteGreat choice of words Kris! I am glad you were able to gain some more knowledge on the proper uses for terms and phrases. I stumble along those lines too so don't worry.
DeleteEmbrace adversity. It's such a beautiful thing! (:
It was a truly good refresher for us to know and learn.
DeleteYa bro, the class activities today was great i totally agree with you.. i too were entertained also. there were some interesting ideas mentioned.
DeleteI agree with you chris, the class activities was a very good refresher.
Deletethis would be great refresher in the future when we pass English 100.
DeleteI found this helpful since I tend to make a lot of mistakes in my English. I will practice more on my words so I can be a better writer.
ReplyDeleteToday's was actually fun especially the brain stretcher activity since everyone had a great time writing about their picture. It was also quite funny listening to everyone.
That's the spirit. Keep it up John! I'm sure that in time, you'll get to where you want to be in terms of constructing proper essays and sentences. Don't give up man. I know you can do it. (:
DeleteNo worries, we all make mistakes. And with a little practice we get better
DeleteYa bro no worries, everybody makes mistakes. Its only natural, now you can learn from it and get better..

DeleteNice one John, practice makes perfect! keep doing it until you get it right.
DeleteI'm not being mean here, but I'm glad you're making those mistakes. for every mistake that is made, the more we learn from it. I know you can do it bro!
DeleteI found this resource to be helpful in may ways. In addition to shedding light to the words that are often used incorrectly, this resource also helped widen my use of vocabulary as I saw a few words that I have not seen nor used before. I am happy to say that I look forward to using them!
ReplyDeleteAs for today's class activities, I could not have asked for a better session. I had no idea that my classmates had such a creative imagination! I admit, I did not think that doing the brain stretchers would end in positive results but I am sure glad that we were able to laugh together. (:
The resources really did shed light. We can really improve with this, as for class it was pretty good day today.
Deleteya sis i too found the resource very helpful. and the class activities were really great.. hope to see you again in class.
DeleteIt is always a great time when everybody is enjoying the vibe in class. :)
DeleteI too found these resources to helpful. I have seen many of my mistakes, and they would have great improvement if i had seen this before. But now that i have seen it, this is good, i can start from scratch and improve.

I also found the source very helpful. I have seen most of my common mistakes. By looking through this source, I will definitely have a greater chance in making improvements to my essays.
ReplyDeleteThe activities we did during class as great. It showed me that pictures sometimes help me brainstorm. Also, it was funny as my classmates share their ideas through the pictures.
the class has spectacular imagination. it makes English fun.
DeleteThe resource is really good. that is a problem to most people including me, am glad I'm doing a good progress.today's class activities were great especially the brain stretcher because we got the time to reflect on something new today, watching a picture and reflect on it, and there were some interesting ideas. as a saying picture is worth a thousand words.
ReplyDeleteI like that saying too, it really is true.
DeleteBeautiful use of a metaphor there bro! I'm glad you were to able to enjoy the class activity. :D
DeleteNice one, i also like the saying!
DeleteThe URL link is very helpful. When people use those words, they usually mix up with other words most of the time. I find this URL to be useful in writing.
ReplyDeleteIn today's activity, it is great. We discuss more about subject-by-subject and point-by-point style of writing. We also had another brain stretcher activity which is fun.
It's good that the URL benefited you!
DeleteThe URL also helped me out. It will benifit us into our writing.
DeleteAs I was looking through the source i find it very useful and a mind refresher. I'm actually glad that I was able to read through the source because it helps me become a better writer. Reading the url link you gave us could surely help me make improvements and feel more confident about myself taking the test, because i usually get test anxiety.
ReplyDeleteIn today's activity was great, Dr. Rivera gave us these cards that had picture and during this activity our class bonded well.
Yeah Marv, our class sure is very creative when it comes to thinking of sentences for their pictures. I'm glad you were able to gain more knowledge from today's class activity. You'll get there man! :D
