The best education book I've read in a long time! Unleashing Your Language Wizards by John T. Crow. I've revamped LA for the next few weeks based on what I've learned. He builds on Jeff Anderson and includes brain-based techniques for teaching grammar, punctuation, and rhetoric.
His viewpoint is that students already have a lot of grammar, punctuation, and rhetoric that they know and our job as teachers is to help students build on that knowledge.
When I get back to Ecuador I'm going to have grammar week, punctuation week, and rhetoric week along with some free-writing and some express edits! Fun.
