Download or read book Mechanically Inclined written by Jeff Anderson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-10-10 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some teachers love grammar and some hate it, but nearly all struggle to find ways of making the mechanics of English meaningful to kids. As a middle school teacher, Jeff Anderson also discovered that his students were not grasping the basics, and that it was preventing them from reaching their potential as writers. Jeff readily admits, “I am not a grammarian, nor am I punctilious about anything,” so he began researching and testing the ideas of scores of grammar experts in his classroom, gradually finding successful ways of integrating grammar instruction into writer's workshop. Mechanically Inclined is the culmination of years of experimentation that merges the best of writer's workshop elements with relevant theory about how and why skills should be taught. It connects theory about using grammar in context with practical instructional strategies, explains why kids often don't understand or apply grammar and mechanics correctly, focuses on attending to the “high payoff,” or most common errors in student writing, and shows how to carefully construct a workshop environment that can best support grammar and mechanics concepts. Jeff emphasizes four key elements in his teaching:short daily instruction in grammar and mechanics within writer's workshop;using high-quality mentor texts to teach grammar and mechanics in context;visual scaffolds, including wall charts, and visual cues that can be pasted into writer's notebooks;regular, short routines, like “express-lane edits,” that help students spot and correct errors automatically.Comprising an overview of the research-based context for grammar instruction, a series of over thirty detailed lessons, and an appendix of helpful forms and instructional tools, Mechanically Inclined is a boon to teachers regardless of their level of grammar-phobia. It shifts the negative, rule-plagued emphasis of much grammar instruction into one which celebrates the power and beauty these tools have in shaping all forms of writing.

This book was released on 2008-08-27 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book offers insight into the publication history of eighteenth-century English grammars in unprecedented detail. It is based on a close analysis of various types of relevant information: Alston's bibliography of 1965, showing that this source needs to be revised urgently; the recently published online database Eighteenth Century Collections Online (ECCO) with respect to sources of information never previously explored or analysed (such as book catalogues and library catalogues); Carol Percy's database on the reception of eighteenth-century grammars in contemporary periodical reviews; and so-called precept corpora containing data on the treatment in a large variety of grammars (and other works) of individual grammatical constructions. By focussing on individual grammars and their history a number of long-standing questions are solved with respect to the authorship of particular grammars and related work (the Brightland/Gildon grammar and the Bellum Grammaticale; Ann Fisher's grammar) while new questions are identified, such as the significant change of approach between the publication of one grammar and its second edition of seven years later (Priestley), and the dependence of later practical grammars (for mothers and their children) on earlier publications. The contributions present a view of the grammarians as individuals with (or without) specific qualifications for undertaking what they did, with their own ideas on teaching methodology, and as writers ultimately engaged in the common aim presenting practical grammars of English to the general public. Interestingly - and importantly - this collection of articles demonstrates the potential of ECCO as a resource for further research in the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essential guide offers a fresh approach to integrating grammar effectively into the classroom as a vital strand of English that both enlivens and enriches students’ understanding of literature. It aims to demystify grammar and empower teachers with the knowledge, inspiration and practical ideas to confidently teach grammar to students at any stage of their secondary education. The authors demonstrate that routinely weaving grammar into lessons and the study of literature, rather than teaching it as an abstract set of rules, enables students to see grammar in a more flexible, enjoyable and exciting way. Each chapter clearly defines complex terminology and provides an essential overview of relevant subject knowledge. With multiple examples of textual analysis and a variety of adaptable lesson plans for popular Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 texts, the book shows how grammatical requirements can be taught in a lively, literature-based manner, developing students’ understanding and improving the quality of their creative and academic writing. Taught like this, grammar becomes a decoding tool: a key to unlocking deeper meaning within texts that enriches the reading experience. Considering a wide range of texts, Teaching Grammar through Literature thoroughly works through core grammatical concepts such as: sentences and sentence clauses nouns verbs determiners punctuation extension vocabulary. This book is a source of fresh and exciting ideas for all practising secondary school English teachers. It will revolutionalise teaching and enrich students' understanding of literature and the grammatical theory within.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout elementary studies, your child developed a fundamental understanding of English/language arts. However, as he or she progressed in his or her education, you introduced more challenging and pointed concepts. At least, that's the way Prentice Hall Writing and Grammar works. The further along your child gets in his or her academic career, the more focused the homeschool program will be. Prentice Hall Writing and Grammar is an English/language arts program geared toward children in middle and high school. Each level of the curriculum addresses three main topics: Writing, Grammar Usage and Mechanics, and Academic and Workplace Skills. By delving deep into these areas, you'll help your child develop a complete and comprehensive understanding of English/language arts. Prentice Hall Writing and Grammar: Grade 9 is the first in the high school-level curriculum for homeschooling. The material is more challenging than in past Grades, helping your child prepare for college and beyond. In fact, the Academic and Workplace Skills portion of the program imparts abilities your child will use the rest of his or her academic career, such as critical thinking and test-taking skills. The Grade 9 material can help your child focus on building these key skills: Understand and apply sentence construction, including modifiers and parallel structure. Display understanding of grammar mechanics in writing. Compose full-length essays with little to no errors. Research, draft and edit an essay. Write a variety of essay types that demonstrate reasoning and analytical abilities. The materials included in Prentice Hall Writing and Grammar: Grade 9 may help you achieve these and other goals throughout the homeschool year.

Download or read book Rhetorical Grammar written by Martha Kolln and published by Longman Publishing Group. This book was released on 2003 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rhetorical Grammar encourages writers to recognize and use the structural and stylistic choices available to them and to understand the rhetorical effects those choices can have on their readers. Rhetorical Grammar is a writer's grammar - a text that presents grammar as a rhetorical tool, avoiding the do's and don'ts so long associated with the study of grammar. It reveals to student writers the system of grammar that they know subconsciously and encourages them to use that knowledge to understand their choices as writers and the effects of those choices on their readers. Besides providing key strategies for revision, Rhetorical Grammar presents systematic discussions of reader expectation, sentence rhythm and cohesion, subordination and coordination, punctuation, modifiers, diction, and other principles. Studying grammar from this rhetorical point of view defines the study of language as an intellectual exercise designed to open up students' minds to the versatility, beauty, and possibilities of language.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Working Grammar of the English Language: Designed to Give in Simple Statement the Principles and Methods of Correct English Speech and Writing Grammar is the treatment of words in their relations as used for the expression of thought. There is no grammar of a mere list of words as given, for instance, in a dictionary. Grammar does not con sider words except as used in connection with other words to express some meaning beyond that of the individual words. Words as used for the expression of thought are divided into classes called Parts of Speech. A combination of words expressing a complete thought, as, Man needs food, is called a Sentence. Hence Grammar may appropriately be taught and studied under two divisions, viz. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
