Student Writing – Homework

by

ESL students learn English writing by completing composition homework. This assignment asked my English students to write a paragraphs using the writing lessons and grammar rules we studied in class.

These English writing lessons included: articles, apostrophes, adjectives, prepositions, prepositional phrases, gerunds and conjunctions.

How to read the comments. My comments are highlighted in yellow.

  • I added a suggestion to the student’s writing. You can see that comment by putting your mouse over the yellow box. These comments have a little memo pad above the yellow box.
  • I highlighted a word or phrase because there was a spelling mistake. In these cases, there is no comment or memo icon.

Here are some more examples of student wrting:
