Grammar Update 7-12

Catalog description

This content-oriented workshop has two purposes--first, to provide secondary teachers with an intensive review of traditional English grammar, including usage, mechanics, parts of speech, phrase and clause structure, and diagramming; second, to develop in secondary teachers an attitude toward the teaching of traditional English grammar shaped by the insights of contemporary linguistic theory, including the relation of "good grammar" to dialect, style, linguistic change, reading instruction, and writing instruction. Recommended for middle and high school language arts or English educators.
