Foggy Friday

I'm preparing this post before class so I can reference it when we are together today.
***We didn't get through as much as I had planned today, but I still want you to read through this post (and at some point the rest of the blog.***

Remember that we will meet in ATB 132 on Monday and Wednesday next week.  Friday is workshop day. 

Our commonly confused words lesson for this week is past vs passed.  For Monday, write THREE complete sentences using each word correctly.  This means write three sentences using PAST and another three using PASSED, for a total of SIX sentences.

We'll finish going over the sentence revision worksheet that you completed on Wednesday and spend some more time discussing editing and proofreading. 

Finally, we'll begin looking at chapters 9 & 10 on conjunctions and prepositions and phrases. 
These links may be helpful to review in clarifying the difference between coordinating and correlative conjunctions.
Here are some great exercises to test yourself on prepositions (once you click, scroll down a little).

Test yourself on conjunctions here. 

FOR MONDAY: read chapters 9 & 10.  You should also read through this post and spend time going through the links; it will reinforce what you've read in the book.  Don't forget to write your sentences for Monday as well.  For bonus points, on a piece of paper, tell me why proofreading is important.  Turn this in as soon as you come to class Monday for the extra points.
