Using a site like Purdue University’s OWL website as your guide, you will create a 10 minute presentation and “cheat sheet” that addresses the topic. Have enough copies of the handout for everyone in class.

Please choose one of the following grammar topics:

Common Spelling Errors and Number Rules
Agreement in number
Agreement in tense

You will be graded on:

This will be a first come first serve process. Please respond to this post with the topic you would like to do. Check any responses that have come before you to be sure there is no overlap. Have fun!
