For the first quiz I got an 80%, which is pretty shocking since I make grammar mistakes near constantly when typing to other people.
ReplyDeleteAs for the commentary, I am reading that now.
For the McGraw Hill quiz I got a 90%, but there is still more to learn.
ReplyDeletei got a 80%, i feel like i need to review the apostrophe chapter in both grammar books because i'm not totally confident yet, and a read them two months ago
ReplyDeleteAlex, Danielle, and Michael,
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting. It lets me know that you are doing the summer work and following the blog.
My first grade was a 60%; I didn't watch where I put the apostrophe. :^(
ReplyDeleteI got a 70% on the Grammar Quiz.
ReplyDeleteEw, I can't believe I got lower than Aubrey.
ReplyDeleteEven though I can since that's what always ends up happening in CW.
80%, boy-0.
I received a 70. These quizzes dont seem to like me:(
ReplyDeleteI got a 70% on the quiz... I felt I already knew what there was to know about apostrophes but guess not.
ReplyDeleteI recieved a 80% on the quiz which suprised me. It seems that I messed up on the one's that are often misprinted, like Lynne Truss discussed in her book! I answered the one that was supposed to answer as attorneys general and the one with the year; 1950s. Have a bit more to learn!
ReplyDeleteI got a 60% on the quiz but it's only the beginning and it's a very hot day. Hopefully I do better on the next ones.
ReplyDeleteWell, in the long run I guess I could have done worst. I got 80%, which for me the sucks at grammar is better than I thought I might have.
ReplyDelete70%
ReplyDeleteFor some questions(those concerning plural possessive) I couldn't tell what they were asking for. My mistake.
I got a 60% but it's still early, and I have a lot to learn.
ReplyDeleteFor the Eats, Shoots and Leaves quiz I got a 10 out of 10. For the Grammar quiz I got a 90%.
