them: this is your responsibility as a learner! You will be expected to not repeat the same mistakes in
the upcoming journals.

relevant to the topic.

● Your journal will not be assessed if you do not submit it to turnitin.com, or if it is partly or completely
plagiarized.
● You will lose 1 point for each day late that your journal is submitted.
Ex: If you write a perfect journal, but submit it two days late, the highest grade you can get is a 3.
Directions: Read the sentences in the boxes and find the mistakes. Label them using the symbols or
abbreviations from the box on the left in one color, and then correct the mistake using a different color.
