Here we are again, back in the lab. I congratulate you on your work last week as you were all able to create your blog, write a post and connect with others to interact. Today you’re free to, again, work at your own pace, focusing on learning and improving your English.
Activity 1:
Publish your essay (about the poem) on your blog if you have not already done so. Then read three classmates’ essays and comment on 1-2 things that you liked—give example(s)—and 1-2 things that you think can be improved—give example(s).
Example: I liked how you started your paper. Asking a question to get the reader’s attention was effective. I also think you used good words. “Mundane” as in “this mundane world” was new to me. About possible improvements, be careful with your verb forms and spelling. Examples: I knew what he wants to say… “wants” should be “wanted”. And, “intresting” is spelled wrong.
IMPORTANT: If the person has already received three comments, go to somebody else’s blog!
Activity 2:
After you have received at least two comments on your essay, edit your own, taking into account your classmates’ feedback. Note that it may be easier to work in Microsoft “Word” then copy and paste your essay. Word also has spell check to help you.

Activity 4:
Open the Student Handbook and go to the Study skills section (p. 19) and practice what you need to practice.
Don’t forget your homework for Tuesday is to read the article about the Pope. Fill in the blanks with the correct verb form and try to guess the meaning of the underlined words based on context.
