At what seems to have been ages , our Christmas break was over and we were finally back in school. In our English 2 class, we met thrice this week rather than the usual twice a week. We met on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday! This was because we did not meet on what was supposed to have been our last meeting for 2009. As a result, our teacher decided to hold a make-up session on Saturday.
This week, we discussed about fragments and run-on sentences and how to avoid creating these when writing. it was such a nice topic since we all learned a little more about proper English grammar and punctuation. I for one learned one use of the semicolon. It was used to separate two independent clauses to prevent the formation of a run
-on sentence. I never knew what a semicolon was for, so now I know of one reason for using it in constructing a sentence.
We were also tasked to submit our topic for our term paper. I thought long and hard as to what my topic was about so I hope it does not get rejected.
During our make-up class last Saturday, we were asked to group into twos for our activities and because it seemed that ma'am did not have enough copies of our lessons for everyone. My partner was Molly, a BSEd-Physics student. So it seems that I did not just learn new things at English2; I also made new friends.
