On Tuesday, we went over pronouns, verbs etc..Some people in the class felt like they were back in elementary school, but i didn't feel that way. Some things that i learned in middle and elementary school i fotgot. So this class exercise was a great one, because it helped me to remember things i forgot, which are important when writing. We also had to turn in our analytical/evaluation writing plan today i planned on writing about Same Sex Marriage.
On Thursday our class exercise was about MLA citation, and quoting vs. paraphrasing. This was a much needed exercise, because i didnt know how to do any citations i always got some one to do them for me. I also learned that citations especially MLA aren't as hard as they look. We also discussed quoting and paraphrasing, at first i thought they were about the same. But after the discussion i was informed that there is a big difference. For example, paraphasing is when you take someone elses words and put them kinda in your own words, but you keep the same meaning. Quoting is taking someone exacts words and putting them in quotations marks.
