English Teacher Rethinks Grammar Lessons -- With an App - 2 views

  •  
    This article explains a new web application created by an English teacher that drills students on common grammar errors. It appear that the site is just getting started (they only currently have quizzes on apostrophes, subject/verb agreement, and commas/fragments/run ons), but this site looks like it has potential to be an excellent tool for formative assessment.

    I set up a class and took a few quizzes. This would be very cool if we could make our own sentences since there are only a few types of quizzes right now--very basic. The best part is that the program clearly explains how the student can fix the mistake. Nice.

    An anti-prescriptivist English teacher friend sent this to me. It speaks to our collective fear of making mistakes in emails, as well as our sometimes misplaced anger at students for "text-speak."

    Great (older) article from the the Ning. Teachers use this to establish the guiding questions for senior English classes, but could be used with other levels, I think. The idea is why we tell stories.

What If Jesus Meant All That Stuff? - 1 views

  •  
    Okay, not strictly English related, but I was surprised to find it in Esquire, and I love it. It is one of those articles that I wish I could memorize and just spew when I am in the presence of some pontificating pundit.
  •  
    I'd just like to point out that Esquire is my favorite magazine. That is all.
