The End of the Chapter

The work that we have done today somewhat caught me off guard, because English is a sneaky language.

Writing Handbook

Today we discussed about the writing handbook chapter. It entails the basics rules and grammatical structures we should know before even writing. Although this is something we all should know already, since english is a complicated language to learn, we could not help but be confused at times. Today's class was interesting and short than usual and it was good to have a recap on the basics.

Chapter 17: Writing Handbook

Yay, we have finished the entire book! Congratulation classmates! Today's lesson was not as complex because it was basically things we have gone over through the previous years. The parts that were tricky and confusing was stating the part of speech for the word that was identified and identifying the fragments, comma slice, and run on sentences. Other than that, everything else was super easy.

Definitions

Definition essays is fairly easy to understand, and the examples they use in this chapter show that definition essays does not only consist of definition, but a combination of other modes of discourse.

Definition & Test 3

Today,  we learned about definition and it was short discussion today since it is pretty self explanatory. Doing definition papers would be , in  my opinion the simplest to do since what you basically do is elaborate one word.

Also, we did our third test. It was quite difficult since I had a brain fart in certain parts but hopefully I did well and as well as the others.

Definition & Test 3

Today's lesson on definition was quite simple. There is not much to learn about because it is stuff we have previously learned through out the years. The group work was not as much fun as the past few days, but it was good that we worked together as a team. About test 3, it was definitely not what I had expected. It was quite difficult for me. Maybe I just need more practice, or I need to study longer.
