Kenddy Margarita,

Good job for most part. Usted escribio la mayoria de las palabras de vocabulario en sus proprias palabras, pero la definicion de "RITUAL" es de diccionario!

# 14 no hace sentido. No explica porque tu quiere ser una historiadora por un dia.

Usted uso muy de forma muy buena las reglas de capitalizacion, pero en el futuro tenemos que hablar que las oraciones necesitan de sujetos y verbos.

Good try!

Mr. PPD

Mr. Pitts-Dilley said...

Kendry Elizabeth,

Good first try! But remember to use capital letters when needed!

Algunas de sus respuestas vienen directamente del diccionario! Yo quiero que usted use sus proprias palabras.

Numeros 2, 3, 5 y 6 son definiciones de diccionario.

But, part 3 is excellent! Su habilidad de piensar y contestar preguntas dificeles es extra-ordinaria!

Mr. PPD

Mr. Pitts-Dilley said...

Albert,

Fantastic job writing in English and using proper capitalization (letras mayusculas). Now...

You did not answer question 13. We call archeologists, geographers and history detectives, because they need to look for clues from the past just like real detectives.

Question 3 is incorrect. Pre-history is the period of time where humans could not read or write.

I do not understand your answer to question number 4. You wrote "rituals are when somebody dies their family". What does this mean? Do you mean when someone pays respect to a dead family member or friend in the forms of funeral and burials?

Question number six does not have to be just statues of animals. The Curley has one of a woman (Mary E. Curley) in the front entrance. Also think of the Statue of Liberty.

Mr. PPD

Mr. Pitts-Dilley said...

Marileyni,

The very best. Great use of English, capitalization rules and great job on the vocabulary and especially on the thinking questions.

Mr. PPD

Mr. Pitts-Dilley said...

George,

Great job writing in English and using capital letters when needed! Now, what type of a figure is a statue? Animal, human...

Part 3:

We need a little more work on the thinking questions!

Mr. PPD
