    To Teach or Not to Teach (Grammar)-No Longer the Question
    This article was submitted to the Publishing Company of textbooks, Glencoe/McGraw-Hill by Janice Christy, M.Ed., English Department Chair, Louisa County High School, Louisa, Virginia. It is a short article which starts off with a very brief history of how teachers used to teach grammar in the classroom. Then it talks about with the testing that is being put on middle school and high students and the notion that teachers can no longer assume that the students will grasp grammar through reading, writing, and speaking. It gives pointers on what to do by assessment of the level the students are at and planning instruction from the pre-assessment that includes three to four grammar skills to focus on each week. The goal I believe for this article is to weave the grammar amongst the reading and writing part of the curriculum.

    Your article here is interesting because it goes with our chapter 8 too. Chapter 8 almost seem like a history of research to why students can't write.
