ello. This is the Wizard Of Words speaking. Some of you may have troubles with recent assignments including writing. That is why I, the Wizard Of Words, has made this post.
Grammar
As yes, the infamous grammar mistakes are part of the reasons why some of you fail Edmodo assignments. For example, I had gotten a 2 before because of a single grammar issue. It is crucial you pay attention to this topic. So here are some tips:
- Download Grammarly
It may not seem like it, but Grammarly will literally correct ALL of your grammar mistakes with a little green icon in the bottom right corner glowing red when there is a grammar issue. Usually, words that are not spelt or typed correctly will be underlined with a smooth red line. Grammarly is crucial for grammar mistakes, even Mr Garcia had recommended it. If you don’t have Grammarly, you should get it now if you want to make your writing improve!
2. Improve your vocabulary
Vocabulary is also another essential element in writing. Without vocabulary, you would be using 1st-grade words when you are already half way in sixth grade! If you want to improve your vocabulary, read more books, possibly check out the dictionary, or go and practice writing things! Reading more books is my recommendation, as there are many words in books (depending on your reading level and vocabulary) that you may not know! If you don’t know those words in that book you were just reading, ask an adult or google it!
3. Working with others
Collaborating (working with other peers) is also another great way to improve! It may not seem like it because you might be collaborating with others on reading or math, but by learning from them you can use that knowledge in your writing as well! For example, when I heard the word “Elaborate” from someone, I learned about it and used it in my writing pieces. Working with parents is also a very good way as parents and elders have a lot more knowledge and you could learn from them.
This was the end of my Wizard Support session, any more ideas that come to mind I will post here to share with others.
