     Today, we used an app called the flip grid and took a video. I did not know the meaning of taking this video, but it was fun. I thought it was a fun app, but I do not actually know the real function the app has, so I want to learn about it more by using this app. I thought it is very annoying that the app asks for log in many times, and do not allow us to log in with google.

     Today was the first class after submitting the essay. Mr. Paterson pointed out that we used many of the personal pronouns, and had some grammar mistakes. I am not good at grammar, but I used Grammarly to check, and my teammate pointed out some mistakes so I did not have any comments. However, I definitely think there are some mistakes in my essay too. Also, for the personal pronoun, I was not pointed out because I enhanced my sentences and change it to not use them.  Also, there were points that my teammate pointed out forme, and it was very helpful to me.
     In the middle of the class, we were shown an essay from Mr.Paterson's university. The percentage of the quotation was high, and there were many quotes there. There wasn't a quotation mark, so turn it in do not recognize it is a quote. I thought it is essential to write a reference properly. Mr. Paterson said that even though the rest of the essay was perfect if the student did not write the reference properly, the assessment would be F because it means that the students are not writing that sentence.

     Today, we were taught about the app called "turn it in". It was an app that can show the percentage of the words that students quoted from other writings. My writings were eight percent, but almost all of this was from the reference list. I thought this is a fantastic function which can find out that the students are quoting the other's writings. All school should use this when submitting their writings, to prompt them to considerate on writing originally.

    Today, I looked up my book review, and I found my group members fixing my grammar, and the points I forgot to write. It was very helpful to me that there were many grammar mistakes that Grammarly did not point out. I am not good at checking grammars but I want to help other group members essays and give some advice as much as I can.

     Today, I fixed my book review using the AWL and the reading level. My AWL score was very low so It was very hard to replace the words, but I made the introduction 3.7 to about 7.1. There were many words that I did not know in the list, so I fully felt my lack of English vocabulary. However, finding synonyms are sometimes fun, so I want to increase my vocabulary.
