Teachers should not
only
be well-versed practitioners in teaching grammar -- they should be
active developers of knowledge -- using their skill as teachers and
scholars to advance the concepts and practices of teaching grammar.
Each member of 'Grammar in
Teaching Writing' Fall 2004 completed a final project that included two
options
- an academic paper focusing
on an element or issue in
teaching grammar
Or
- A pedagogical project in
which they describe a
writing project for students that exemplifies best practices in
teaching grammar.
See "Final Project
options"
for specifics. Below are one-page summaries of each contributor's
project. If you wish to request a full copy of the contributor's
