ENG 090-003 Day 10

We decided to wait and do peer reviews on the comparison-contrast paragraphs next Tuesday. The final versions (along with all preliminary work and drafts) are due on Thursday.

After spending a few minutes talking about RSS feeds, tags, and social bookmarking, we went over active- and passive-voice sentences and sentences beginning with "there are" and similar phrases. We also looked at some commonly confused words:

• accept/except
• affect/effect
• its/it’s
• knew/new
• through/threw
• their/there/they’re
• then/than
• weather/whether
• who/whom
