High School English #1, Grammar Skill Building, SAT and College Prep

Want to improve your English reading and writing skills? I’m here to help! My name’s Laura Randazzo and I’m a high school English teacher with more than 20 years of experience. I’ll be here three times a week this academic year to share lessons on the following:
Mondays = Mechanics, usage, and grammar (MUG shot Mondays)
Wednesdays = SAT-level vocabulary (Words on Wednesdays)
Fridays = A wide range of skill builders (Freestyle Fridays)

Today’s messed up sentences for you to fix:
1. At the begining of class Ms. Rodriguez took attendence assigns new work and homework was checked.
2. After he found a cockroach baked under the cheese of his pizza Vincent who used to love italian food will no longer eat at Little Tonys’ House of Pasta.

Make your corrections and leave your fixed sentences in the comments section below.

A semester-long set of these weekly grammar/proofreading slides is available here:
