Today we learned that punctuation, capitalization, and correct wording in writing is crucial.  We are still learning, that if something is written poorly, and has a lack of all of the factors above, the burden is on the writer.  Proof reading a finished product is important, so to make sure the reader can understand what you're trying to get across.

Today Hamilton made us do a little exercise taught us that holding hands stands for connecting sentences. What we also came to know is that there is not a sentence that cant be made better then the old one. He also let us know that we have to get used to scratching out sentences if you eventually want a good sentence.

Today in class we learned about self-correction.  When you are jotting down on paper, or brainstorming some ideas, self-correction is when you correct yourself to make a sentence better, while editing it.  We learned this is a vital skill we can use later on in life.  In addition to that we are still learning about reading and writing as a transaction.

Today we learned how important combining sentences are. If there is a sentence with a big idea you have to try to add some detail about that sentence in the next sentence to spice up your paragraph.

In class we read our novels and it really felt like a good atmosphere so everything  we read we could really interpret it. Were glad we do this sustained silent reading it really gives us a better vocabulary and gets us to learn punctuation.
