Welcome

Hi all,
This blog is about improving your writing accuracy. Each week you will need to post 150 words on a topic that interests you.

Each week you will get a grade based on the number of errors you make in one grammar area.

If you make 0 mistakes, you will get 100%. If you make 1 mistake, you will get 90%. If you make 2 mistakes, you will get 80%. If you make 3 mistakes, you will get 70%. If you make 4 mistakes, you get 60% and if you make 5 or more mistakes, you will get 50%. I will grade on Sunday 2-4pm, so your writing must be in by then.

Copied work, or work that I think isn't your own will get 0% (please don't get your sister to help!). Work under 150 words will lose 20%.

After I have graded the work, you have 1 day, till Monday 4pm, to find the mistakes. Each mistake you find and correct, will gain you 3%.

For example, if you wrote 150 words on a topic and I found 3 errors, you would get 70%. If by Monday 4pm, you found and fixed 2 of the errors, you'd get an extra 6%. This would make your score 76%.

You will do 5 of these pieces of writing and I will average the 4 best scores you get.

Please feel free to write about anything, add photos and video- just be careful to write correctly.
