Well, time has flown this school year, and I haven't added a post. It's not for want of material. In any event, let's get right to it. As always, these are real sentences from student work, and my comments are in ( ).
- Since pre-school teachers have implemented reading into students' everyday lives.
- The vision of the touchdown area in a football player's eyes. (End zone; it's called the end zone.)
- He wore the veil during his preaches.
- Thoreau was an abolishener...
- Abby is still convinced that Proctor lovers her.
- The narrator is thirsting himself with self-torture. (Redundancy much?)
- ... performers who perform acts of disgusting acts... (Wow; double the redundancy.)
- Many people are familiar with the word based off of what they most generally use it in terms of or how they generally hear it as in terms of usage. (Sure. I follow.)
- ... a disrupter of the piece.
- Abby wanted to be in relations with John Proctor.
- John's husband Elizabeth...
- I can't thesis. (That may be the least of your worries.)
- Poe uses the frazes... (phrases)
- it means imagine in archaic. (This student thought "archaic" was a foreign language.)
- This makes it so Elizabeth because john said he was with other people when he was alone with her.
- Rev. Hale lost complete self-confidence in himself. (As opposed to self-confidence in...?)
- I have always been an Advocated reader.
And finally...
- Home is the place where someone feels themselves the most.
That's your business, I think.
