Today in class we ran the SV Agreement exercises in the 8-9 AM class. The later class got to the Bad Granny Essay.

Students were asked to exchange phone numbers to continue identifying errors prior to 5/20. Homework was to bring in the templates. I skipped a step. Bring in your five errors identified on the Error List handout instead. Identify six errors (out of the 80 possible), that show off your writing skills. The errors need to be spread throughout the essay. See the handout for the format.

Finals Recap
The 8-9 AM class final is Friday, May 29. The 9-10 AM class final is Wednesday, May 27, 8-10 AM. We were thinking about having the final presentations at a restaurant. I am not certain if there is a consensus around this.

Pidd makes an error by incorrectly placing the verb before the subject in a sentence. He writes, “There is rumors going around Ludville” (1). Even though the verb comes before the subject, it still must agree with its subject. To fix his error Pidd can replace the be verb “is” with the be verb “are.” The corrected sentence will read, “There are rumors going around Ludville.”

1. Although the earth's atmosphere is slowly dissipating, our government is making ecological changes because of the fear of global warming.

2. Although our earth provides room to dump waste, we still need to reuse and recycle the products we use because our landfills are increasing and becoming more toxic to the earth.
