I’m going totally old school in my efforts to help my students master the basics of punctuation, grammar, and syntax …
Yup, the good ole fashion Paper Fortune Teller (aka “Cootie Catcher”).
Back in the day, we’d divine this wonder of origami mastery to determine our 6th grade dance partners …
But for today, we’re going to use it to hammer home the “when” “why” “how” of using commas, semicolons, hyphens, periods, colons.
This past school year taught us two important things about pandemic learning:
1. Students are imploring us to engage them at higher levels
2. The skill gap is real and of urgent concern
Tomorrow night at 7 EST … I am hosting my Nuance Academy.
If you’re looking to up your game in terms of offering more engaging learning content and strategies …
And if you’d like to learn meaningful and effective ways to teach grammar, punctuation, syntax … as well as voice, rhythm, and flow …
Then come join us for a 90-minute Zoom session.
Feel free to reach out with any questions.
Happy teaching and happy writing!!
Kristian K.
