Punctuation/Grammar Log Project

The Expo 2 Self-Paced, Self-Prioritized Punctuation/Grammar ProjectFor the next five days we will be meeting in Lab B and concentrating on Vocabulary, Punctuation, and Grammar.

Although the Vocabulary will be given to you thanks to Group 5, the Punctuation and Grammar is a "Your choice based on your needs" situation. You will be navigating your way through a very...dare I say...humorous site. You can go to the explanations/rules/examples that are the most useful to YOU. Never understood how to use a dash? Go directly to that explanation! Mystified where to put quotation marks?.....well, you get the idea. And YOU determine what grade you will get for this week long project.
