Comment on Peer's "Good Learning"

Comment on Camila Toro's journal
I thought you developed your ideas well on what you though good learning was, you said that it takes a lot of steps to fully comprehend and use the knowledge you are given or want to get. I also agree with you that to fully understand a concept you must apply it to something out side of school or class, another situation. I thought you did well on the transition words although some might not fit perfectly with the context overall, you did very well. Good job kiddo.
Comment on Antonia Pulido's journal
I really liked your approach on what real learning is, you said that you thought it was to learn to enjoy what your learning, and I realized your absolutely right! The best way to actually learn succesfully is to learn how to enjoy learning! You've changed my perspective on what real learning is. Thanks! Good job.
Comment on Maria Pombo's journal
I agree with what you think real learning is. We both mentioned how vital it is to apply what your learning to real life situations or situations outside of school or class. Your ideas were clear and simple. You also did a great job on your use of transitional words, Good job!

Mind Map (Stop misusing prepositions)

Preposition Game.

I would like to do a sort of Jeopardy style game.
The class would be divided into 4-5 teams. And there would be 3 catagories Time prepositions,Place prepositions and Direction preposition sition Each catagory would have 5 levels for points 100, 300, 500, 700, and 1000. With the role of a dice we decide which team picks first. The first team to write the answer and raise there hands get to answer. If they get it right they get to pick the next catagory and for how many points. However, if they get it wrong any other team can answer and the team that got it wrong you take away the amount of points the question was worth. The team at the end with the most points wins.

Quiz 3: Sentence Types

Errors:
I seem to confuse compound complex and compound sentences.
Learned:
That I need to work on differentiating these two typed of sentences!

Quiz 2: Which, Who, and That

Errors:
1. I used that instead of which, to identify where something could be found.
Learned:
I learned that although you can use that in this way but since the sentence had commas they were looking for added information, making the meaning of the sentence a little different. Therefore using which would be the correct form.

Quiz 1: Repairing Run-on sentences

Errors:
1.I put two independent clauses that had a conjunction with a period to being in a new sentence, but since they had a conjunction it's better to separate them with a comma.
Learned: Two independent clauses should be paired together with a comma when they have a conjunction.

The Difference (corrected)

That: Incorrectly: The boy that was crying. Correctly: The dog that ate my shoe.
Who: Incorrectly: The pan who sizzled. Correctly: The girl who was crying.
Which: Incorrectly: The girl which lent me her hair tie Correctly: This is the shirt, which I wore to the dance.
That: The difference between saying "that ball" and "she wore the coat that she bought in Spain" is that the first example that is being used is called a demonstrative pronoun which is a way in which "where the meaning is dependent on something other than the relative physical location of the speaker, for example whether something is currently been said or was said earlier." "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demonstrative_pronoun
The second example that is being used in a restrictive relative clause this is something that adds information to the noun.
Who: The difference between saying "Who is he?" or "He is friends with Charlie who is the senator's son" is that the second example who is being used as a subordinate clause which "will begin with a subordinate conjunction or a relative pronoun(who) and will contain both a subject and a verb."
http://www.chompchomp.com/terms/subordinateclause.htm 
Which: the difference between saying "which one?" or "he ate the food which he brought from his home"
the first example is an interrogative the second example is called a relative.
Run-on senctence: A run-on sentence is a sentence with two independent phrases which can stand by there self in one sentence alone. Run-ons are commonly used in our writing although they are grammatically wrong!
