This week's class went well, for the most part. We started the class in groups and went through an activity which I found to be helpful. We were able to use our knowledge of the text that we read and apply it to a real concept. It also helps doing the activity within a group because we can bounce ideas off of each other. The last activity in the small group was to talk about our trial analysis of a written sample. We talked about the errors of the writing and why they may have occurred. I hope we do not have to do that on the final project because my written and spoken samples are coming from native Somali speakers. I am not familiar with the language but I think I could make guesses. I hope that is something that is allowed in the final project.
The class then went to a whole group discussion. I kind of felt like a butt because I confused contractions with conjunctions. Oh well, mistakes happen. It was good to talk about the different terms in the book with the game that we play with Esther. I really appreciate going over what was in the readings.

You can definitely conjecture as to why an error occurred, although you may find it useful to ask a native Somali speaker or to search online/conduct a little research. Not compulsory though.
ReplyDeleteAs for your conjunction and contraction mistake, don't worry about it. We're all here to learn from one another.
