Error Analysis Chart

The error analysis chart helped to identify different mistakes that I had in my entry. It helped me a lot because I could reflect about my mistakes how I wrote it and how I should write. As well, I can improve my writing skill. After doing this exercises, I felt more confident to put in practice all I have learned. I would like to do this exercise with my future students because I can evaluate the progress that they have in learning English but the most important thing is that they can correct by themselves.
