Wednesday:
We started our lab session with the instructor asking students to write a paragraph about what they learned about argumentation from the Martin Luther King essay. Students turned this paragraph in.
The instructor announced that there are still too many comma errors, so she will be handing out a take-home assignment where students write in commas. Students should feel free to use their manual and/or writershelp to locate the correct rules.
We then began work on apostrophes. The instructor showed a .ppt and students learned the rule and then applied the rule. We did not finish. We ended on contractions. At our next lab date, Nov. 9, we will finish the .ppt and do the exercises at writershelp.
On Friday, we will work more with the argumentation essay. We will talk about topics and where to get research.
Monday:
We talked about the argumentation essay and the instructor asked students to read MLK's essay in the book.
