    English Language Grammar and Vocabulary Exercises

    This is a huge bunch of interactive (i.e. fill in the blank) exercises for English Language grammar and vocabulary. It's from a German website, and it seems like it might be a good resource for a student who was having trouble with a particular language or grammar area.

    I love the way you can search for standards and then lesson plans/activities that meet the standard. Some of the activities on this page are too low-level for high-school students, but many of them would help my students get up out of their seats and participate in class by drawing on the board together. I would certainly use this site when teaching grammar, so students can group-edit and see the result.

      I always tell my writing tutees this: We put commas and periods (other than those following citations) inside quotation marks because they are like small children. Semicolons, colons, exclamation points, and question marks are like adults; they can go inside or outside. But comma-children will get lost or run over a bus if you let them outside.

      Sidenote: Brits let commas out-of-doors. Some may say that this is because Brits enjoy fresh air and long walks; I say it is because Brits have public healthcare, and don't have to pay when their children are run over by buses.

      Helpful hint -- have high schoolers collaborate to make "grammer hint" videos or presentations for their classes. This site would aid them :)

    One reason I bookmarked this site is because I was shocked, flabbergast, and delighted that "10 Completely Wrong Ways to Use Commas" made it into the "Most Popular" list for howstuffworks.com. The other reason is simpler: Howstuffworks taught me how to explain transgenics, use fantasy football, and change a car tire. Students should know this site!
