Error analysis

Error analysis exercise experience

Hello everyone. I feel excited for writing you and for letting you know about some things I have been doing recently. Firstable, I want to tell you that my classmates and I were asked to make an exercise that consisted in writing down in two different columns:

1.     The things that I wrote.

2.     The things I should have written.

In a table, I was supposed to analyze what I wrote in order to fix any grammar mistake, so you readers can be able to read exactly my thoughts. And to be honest, I was very interesting in being capable to express myself clearly.

Personally, I consider this activity was very useful for me because even though it is important when others give us feedback, I believe that it is even more regarding when by ourselves, we can analyze what we are doing in any activity. At first, I have to say that it was very “Hard” because it was not an easy job, but when you have a guide (teacher) with you, telling you step by step what you must do, the activity becomes possible to perform. In my case, my teacher sent me a set of my own phrases in which were not that clear, so I had to look for fixing them. I felt proud and satisfied when I reread the things that I wrote on my blog entries, and mostly when I was able to find the mistakes.

I totally believe in this activity as a good way for students to build their own knowledge and develop their thinking skills because it happened to me. I definitely would do the same activity with my students. It is just necessary to take a short time to verify what we do in an activity, and to be open minded that there is always a better way to do something.
