Dear all,
Welcome to ENGL300-2, your advanced grammar class!!!
The first thing we'll do is to introduce ourselves to our class mates. Please post a short COMMENT to this blog entry, telling your peers about your major, interests, expectations of this course, problems with grammar (if you have any!!!), your personal websites or Facebook (if you want!), etc.
Homework for next class, Wednesday, August 25th:
1. Find a grammar cartoon on the Internet to replace the one on the right (it's a bit sexist ;-)), and email it to me, together with the link where you found it! The funniest one will be posted on our website first; the others will be put on later in the semester.
Remember that we only use our grammar300.com email addresses!!!
2. Try to find the grammar mistake on the copy of the "jury duty" info sheet. If you find one, circle it on the copy, and write the correct sentence on the back side. If you can't find a mistake, or think there is none, write this on the back side. Put the sheet in your folder and submit your folder on Wednesday, August 25th, in the first 10 minutes of class.
