| Summary |
"With Teaching Grammar in Context, thousands of teachers discovered why students achieve better results when they learn grammar during the process of writing. In Lessons to Share, Constance Weaver's promised sequel, she focuses now on the practical, offering valuable "lessons" from educators at all levels." "The book features eighteen articles addressing issues such as: how language is learned; teaching grammar through writing, across the grades; sentence composing, "image grammar," and "breaking the rules" for stylistic effect; the power of dialects and dialects of power; teaching the English language and its grammar to ESL students in kindergarten through college; and using grammar-checking computer software." "While most of the authors illustrate their points with reference to a particular grade or range of grades and levels, the ideas are pertinent to all English teachers - elementary through college."--BOOK JACKET |
