Why study ‘old’ things, like Shakespeare? Why should we? The world we live in today bears very little resemblance to Shakespeare’s. *slide* Why? Because we are human and we seek to understand our world and experiences through stories – if this wasn’t a basic human need, then why have humans been telling stories since their earliest beginnings? Not every story remains relevant or popular for long though, only some do – those that make it into the illustrious Canon Club. What do those texts have…

As a person ties their boots, they start by pulling their laces and tightening their boot, around their foot. Before going around each hook, they pull the laces tight, maker the boot tighter and tighter all the way up. Once all the hooks have been laced, you finish by tying a bow at the top to keep the boot snug all the way down to the top of the foot.

When the enunciation for the expression was modeled, he repeated with great articulation. It is evident the student received excellent foundations in areas of phonology and…

Unconventional for a formal work of writing, Salinger strengthens his already emotionally-charged literature with punctuation and sentence structures reflecting not conventional grammatical structure, but rather the true rhetoric of Holden…

shows how they are able to come up with ideas about the topic during the assessment. I decided to grade the assessment this way because it will show me how much each student can write per each minute. I am not particularly concern about the use of punctuation, spelling, and grammar. But more concern about how much they can write about a particular subject and how much vocabulary they have. Since all my students are in third grade they should be able to write up to 37 words per minutes. The topic…

children and young adults in the UK found no relationship between grammatical errors in text messages and reduced grammar and punctuation ability informal tests. ( ) Some popular terms like LOL (for "laugh out loud") have turned into unique words that have a greater meaning. LOL is now used to add a joking sense to messages almost like a type of punctuation.
