SAMPLE – was recovering from a traumatic experience.
Sentence: “That was a very traumatic experience- for all of you i might add” (Sharon Draper, Tears of a Tiger, 112).
Mon’Tavis,
Terrific!! I went and added the author for ya’. I need you to check the punctuation and capitalization within the sentence itself. It needs to match exactly what’s in the text. I would have looked it up myself, using amazon.com, but I couldn’t get into the text like I could for Govanni’s term (Govanni, am I spelling your name wrong?). Check this, and update it for us. Cool.
I need one other thing from you . . .
You could
(1) find a definition that does not have the word root IN the definition. I will not give credit for definitions that have the word root them.
OR
(2) provide a definition for the term – TRAUMA.
Thing is, if I don’t know what TRAUMA means, then I will not know what TRAUMAtic means.
You’ve got this. MASTER this word. Own it.
Here is my artifact because I couldn’t print it.

NOTE: That’s how was written in the posters in the wall. The definition for MIRAGE and SEGREGATION weren’t in the posters so I looked them up in google. ALL this words are from your 3rd Block, and NONE of them put the citation on their posters.
I’m sorry next time ill do it i left it to someone in my group and he didnt do it next time ill do it myself so i know it gets done , and if there is anything or words i could help you with i can do that for you
Thanks
Jeremiah,
My hat is off to you for putting it out there and accepting responsibility. It takes a very humble person to publicly apologize for an area where he has fallen short especially in a world where it is often the belief that a man can do whatever he pleases with no consequences. All that said, you did not drop the ball on this play. You did your part, and a group member accepted responsibility for the website posting. I want to tell you that you are not at fault and I don’t want you to think that you are. The group member who should have taken care of this, who can remain unnamed on this site, is the responsible person. I understand your desire to take the whole thing on yourself, but that would be counter to what you are all supposed to learn from this manner of work – interdependence. Give your group member another chance. Lead the way toward compassion and understanding. Thanks for everything, Jeremiah. You are setting a great example for your peers. You are awesome!!!
