LAB

Each week, you should spend about an hour practicing your core grammar skills. The resources on this page will provide hours of practice with grammar skills that we cover in class and will guide you to additional help for problem areas in your writing. Do as many of the exercises as you can. These exercises will really help you with your writing and with the grammar skills final for English 100.

At the end of each list of skills, you will find a Submit Form. Please submit the form for the skill that we are covering.

In addition, you must print out the labs that you do and keep them in your notebook.
I will pick up the labs twice during the semester (Mid-term portfolio review and Final Portfolio Review).

I will add exercises to this page. Please check back to this page for updates.

Help with Almost Any Problem in Writing and an excellent source for lab activities
