Developing Writers: A Workshop for High School Teachers
Usage and Mechanics (#105)
This program focuses on questions of grammar and mechanics: When should students and reviewers of student work pay attention to usage and mechanics? Does teaching grammar in context really work? Grammar experts add to the conversation, analyzing its role in communication and providing ways to bridge the connection between message and mechanics. Judith Ortiz Cofer challenges teachers to use only one sentence form to tell a story.
