Technical Writing Class: 07/07/09

Synthesis: July 7, 2009

Ms. Monte de Ramos made the 4 Basic Parts of the Verb clear to us by giving the form and example for each verb. After that, she contrasted the Present Perfect and Past Simple. Past simple tense indicates definite time in the past while present perfect tense shows past action in an indefinite time. Afterwards, she gave a 10-item assessment, and then followed by Mrs. Manzano’s exam about writing errors – run-ons, comma splice, parallelism, fragments etc.
After the 2 consecutive exams, Mrs. Manzano reminded the next topics for tomorrow’s discussion. Those were Types of Pronoun Reference Errors, Paragraph Development and Specialized Techniques of Technical Writing. We only have one last topic to discuss after the midterm exam which is the Final Products of Technical Writing. Before Mrs. Manzano dismissed the class, she asked reports about the symposium. She said that we should organize that as soon as possible. Tomorrow will be a make-up class day; it will be like a normal school day. So, we will be expecting more discussions and activities in all subjects.
