Grammar

 

A quick Web search for "grammar" will bring up thousands of sites with grammar drills and quizzes. Below are described some different ways to think about and learn/ practice grammar that teachers can consider for their classrooms.

Grammar Webquest

There are thousands of the structured digital mini-lessons call "WebQuests" throughout the Web (some better than others') the majority of them are built along the engagement guidelines from Module 1. Teachers and/ or students can make their own or they can do one like this grammar quest located at:

 

 

Grammar Videos

Students can be engaged and learn deeply about grammar by making films about grammar points using these tools at 

 

 

Animated Grammar

Students or the teacher can create an animation for the class web page and explain what it is doing (present progressive, for example) at FluxTime Studio 

 

 

GrammarMan

Grammarman has hilarious comics about grammar topics at grammarmancomic.com. Even better - teachers can print out premade comic panels that students can use to create their own stories using a targeted grammar point.

 

 

Quill - Adaptive Grammar Editing Tasks

At quill.org,  students can work on proofreading and receive lessons and tasks that perfectly fit their skill level as a result of computer-adaptive testing.

 

 

Adaptive Grammar

Another great free site is noredink.com. Teachers can follow student progress as they move through exercises and tasks adapted just for them. This site is clearly built on principles of student engagement; teachers can read the "about" page to decide if this might be useful for their students and for their instruction.
