RR>about.  I'm trying to make the grammar useful in the students'
RR>writing and speaking.  I've told them I want them to learn the
RR>basics so we can talk about our writing in terms we understand. 

       That seems like a reasonable starting point.

       Tried any of those cloze stories that require a particular part of speech? Kids actually like them so much that they'll come to ask what an adverb is an how it's used. (One of many examples)

       At a few teachers' conferences I've been to here (NSW, Australia), I've found others that believe them to be an excellent supplementary tool.
