MLA help

If you are working on your research paper over break, and need some help, this is a great site. I use it when I get stuck on something. It's easy to read too, so you can use it without getting too confused.

Grammar Time!!

Hello Children!

In keeping with our struggle to improve our writing skills, I am going to have you complete some simple grammar exercises (this one is on sentence fragments). Go to the following link and complete the exercise:

Then, write a blog post about the experience. How did you do? While this probably wasn't the most fun thing you could be doing, was it beneficial? Do you need more work on this, or can we work on a different writing skill?

DUE BY 12/9/11 @ 3:30.
