Getting It Right: Fresh Approaches to Teaching Grammar, Usage, and Correctness Getting It Right: Fresh Approaches to Teaching Grammar, Usage, and Correctness

Decades of research lead to one inescapable conclusion: The old ways of teaching grammer, usage, and correctness just arn't working. Traditional grammar instruction that calls upon students to underline,label and diagram sentances, and fill out decontextualized worksheets, has a negligible and sometimes negative effect on writing.The most important thing "Getting it Right" provides is the how-to-teach deeply through activities that help students inquire into the effects of language use and see why what they are learning matters in the here and now.With the tools and support offered here, your students will write more confidently and more correctly.
