On Wednesday Oct 14, 2009, I had important appointment with Ms. Melanie. At the beginning, I was shy to express my problem at the first. Then she encouraged me to talk. I told her about my grammar weaknesses especially in writing. Although she wanted to help me but she thought advices would be enough and she ensured that the LSC would help me. I got few excellent advices with hint of disappointment as I expected direct assistance from her. Afterwards, she took me by my hand and went to LSC and she introduced me to Mr. Omar. However, she was shocked to know that I had been there many times before. She surprisingly asked me why I did not tell her. Anyway, I started grammar with Mr.
On Saturday Oct 17, 2009, I read strong medicine, four chapters over night. I wrote the new words and looked for the grammar rules. In addition, I looked for the new words in the sentences and used them in mines. As well, I looked for the meaning of them at www.dictionary.com
On Sunday Oct 18, 2009, I opened crossword challenge and tried to answer the questions. To be honest, I liked it so much so did my sisters and I found it funny. In facts, it was such a supportive program.
On Monday Oct 19, 2009, I used the newspapers, which you asked us to bring for reading. I had read a nice topic about Obama’s Nobel Prize for peace “peace and prize”. I thought that he deserved the prize and I congratulated him. Actually, we need peace these days.
Now, I am glad to have enormous vocabularies from the newspaper and the story, besides good lesson of grammar.
This is a good entry, with lots of description. It would be better if you had more analysis and made more connections between what you are describing and what your goals are. For example, when you used the crossword challenge, besides having fun (which is important!), how did it help you? What did you think it would do for your learning process, and what was the reality? Will you use it again, in the same way, for the same purpose? These are the kinds of things that I’d like to see for all your strategies. It’s better to go into greater depth on one or two strategies or resources than to give a superficial account of many.
