         On chapter 32 in ST. Martin's guide to writing  the chapter talked on how to work with others and how can we use other people experience to help us with our work.  when someone ells read my paper I can get a different view and that help to make my writing beater

  2. Hey Sharifa, I really liked how detailed you were about letting us know what helped you in the St. Martin's guide to writing. Most people just say that it helped, but you took the time to explain exactly what helped and where to find it. And what difference it made. Also I love your pictures. cute kids! :)

  3. Thanks for commenting on Sharifa's blog, Dylan/ Lindsay! I totally agree with Dylan. You have done a wonderful job detailing everything that helped you and what you specifically learned from certain passages/ sections.

    So glad you're learning more about MLA after our PowerPoint discussion on that and plagiarism. Also, hopefully...as the book suggested, the Peer Reviews did help by letting you see what others think in general and about your writing. You actually contributed to writing about your community, as well...like the book suggested. I have enjoyed hearing about your process with your plaque/ statue you discussed with me in class :) So glad you have an appreciation of history and are learning from the readings!

    See you next Wednesday!
