Words Mistakes


Today we are going to talk about correct pronunciation and spelling of words. For example, do you find yourself saying melk when you actually mean milk? What are some similar mistakes that you have made in the past. Make a short comment (100-200 words) on a similar pronunciation mistake (eggcorn-acorn, melk-milk).

Intro

Take the place of the Alfred Poole. Explain in three paragraphs (5-7 sentences each) how you would react to the strange society that has formed. Would you act the same? Would you leave? Give detail and cite the book correctly when using a direct quote. Use at least two direct quotes in your response. This will be graded on critical thinking, following directions and of course grammar. Your response is due during the class period.
