Most of your blogs are on target. Keep reviewing and summarizing patterns and grammar with clear, full-sentence examples in your own words. It shows me that you really understand what is being taught in class and what is expected in this course. Blog 4 could have had examples. Be sure you understand how to write about abbreviations in an essay. CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) 7/10
