Pinning Grammar and Mechanics

Humor is definitely essential for keeping students engaged. One of the things I dread most is teaching grammar and mechanics, but since I started using humorous, real-life examples, it is a lot more fun for everyone. You can find so many examples on the Internet: cakes with misspelled words, advertisements or signs that use improper punctuation, etc. I started a Pinterest board with examples, so I’ll draw from those when we need to review a skill while writing.

What a great site! Thanks for the information...I'm a stickler about grammar!

Thank you--hysterical and educational! P.S. to Jennifer...apostrophe's? Oops!

This reminds me of these really fun books I have called "Eats, Shoots & Leaves: Why you can't manage without commas" and "The Girl's Like Spaghetti: Why you can't manage without apostrophe's". They have really cute pictures that illustrate how the entire meaning of a phrase can change if you leave off one of these important punctuation marks!

I literally laughed out loud at this page and repinned a bunch of them. Thanks for the cheer! :)
