Instructional Ideas
  • Include exercises in a grammar assessment or homework assignment
  • Project selected sentences onto the board for learners to correct as a class
  • Encourage individuals to write their vocabulary sentences with semicolons, proper nouns, commas in a series, or another written convention from the resource
Classroom Considerations
  • Instruction pages are a little wordy, and are more helpful as planning tools for a lesson than as handouts for learners
  • Designed for high schoolers but helpful for middle schoolers as well
Pros
  • Provides an answer key for each exercise
  • Focuses on a variety of grammar concepts 
Cons
  • None
