Class 3

In this class, here's what we did:

  • Passive and Active Voice exercises
  • Listened to Poynter Podcasts about the active and passive voice - activate your verbs! Use passive voice to show the victim of the action
  • We also worked on punctuation and listened to a Podcast about that - use punctuation to control pace and space
  • Finally we had a lecture on Proofreading and Editing. Remember that you will make mistakes that the Microsoft Spell Checker won't catch. It's important that you read over your work to make sure you catch everything. Especially homonyms - words that are spelled or pronounced the same but have different meanings.
Blogs have been added to the blog list on the left. 

The hourly takes place in Class 4: Thursday, September 4 at 10:45 am for Section A and Monday, September 8 at 10:45 am for Section B. Good luck!
