Carol - Please provide me with some rationale as to why you consider the teaching of grammar to be such a high priority. It seems to me that the main purpose for teaching grammar is to provide a common vocabulary between teacher/student for the purpose of responding to student writing and possibly as a means for "teaching" speaking skills. If this is the case, then grammar should be taught in these contexts. Requiring students to identify parts of speech in isolation seems unnecessary to me if improved writing and speaking skills is what we're seeking. What do you think? -- uucp: uunet!m2xenix!puddle!343!80!Jim.Lagerquist Internet: Jim.Lagerquist@f80.n343.z1.fidonet.org
