A Group Grammar Lesson for Composition Class In-Class Group Assignment “You Are The Instructor” Create an exercise for a grammar rule Objectives: • To write an explanation of a grammar rule for the class • To create a short exercise (with answers) for the class I will compile all of the exercises together. You will complete everyone’s exercises in the next class meeting. Purpose: To learn, through teaching others, a common grammar rule that would help correct some of the same grammar errors we all have in our writing. Grading criteria: Your exercises will be graded using the following criteria: Accuracy: The rule is accurately explained. The examples accurately represent the rule. No grammar errors in your explanation or exercise. (Check with other students if you are unsure about your grammar) Clarity: The explanation is easy to understand. The examples are also easy to understand. Style: The explanation and examples are entertaining and at the same time useful in learning the particular grammar rule. Instructions: 1) Choose a partner to work with on this exercise. One person will record the lesson for you both. 2) Choose a piece of paper from the pile. You will work on the grammar rule from the list below that matches the number on your piece of paper. Every group will have a different grammar rule. 3) Look up and read the explanation of your rule in your textbook. The page numbers are given below, but you can use reference other than your book if you have it. 4) On a clean piece of notebook paper, in your own words, write an explanation of the rule using language that your classmates will understand and enjoy. 5) Write an example of correct and incorrect usage. 6) Write 5 sentences for an exercise on this grammar rule, giving clear instructions. These can be “fill-in-the- blank,” “true-false,” “multiple choice,” a combination of these, or some variation. 7) Write answers to those sentences on another sheet of paper. 8) Put both of your names on the exercise and hand it in. Grammar rules 1) Explaining the difference between “rise and raise” and Correcting usage. (pg. 170) 2) Explaining and Correcting “pronoun agreement.” (pg. 196) 3) Explaining and Correcting use of apostrophe “possessive pronouns.” (pg. 299) 4) Explaining and Correcting commas after “introductory clauses.” (pg. 321) 5) Explaining and Correcting “dependent word” Fragments (pg. 98, 99) 6) Explaining and Correcting “ –ing and to” Fragments (pg. 102, 103) 7) Explaining and Correcting verb agreement using “Who, Which, and That” as subjects of the sentence (pg. 178, 179) 8) Explaining and Correcting commas that “interrupt the flow of thought.” (pg. 322) 9) Explaining and Correcting commas that go “between complete thoughts connected by a joining word.” (pg. 324) 10) Explaining and Correcting the difference between “all ready and already” and “than and then.” (pg. 366, 371) 11) Explaining and Correcting the difference between “accept and except” and “among and between.” (pg. 375, 376) 12) Explaining and Correcting using “being that” and can’t hardly.” (pg. 380) An example of the completed assignment would look like this: Names: Angela and Joel Grammar rule: Using punctuation with quotation marks. 1) Explanation Ever wondered where the comma or the period is supposed to go after the title of an article or some dialogue in a sentence? Well, about 99.9999999% of the time, punctuation goes INSIDE quotation marks. You could think of it this way: quotation marks PROTECT what’s inside them. Punctuation always wants PROTECTION. Check out these examples: 2) Examples WRONG: Eminem should have got a Grammy for “In Da Club”. (See? The period needs to be INSIDE the ending quotation.) RIGHT: After hearing R. Kelly’s “Down Low,” I knew I had to keep that song away from my girl. (See? The comma belongs INSIDE the quotation mark.) 3) Exercises: Now, try it out for yourself! Read these sentences and decide whether or not they are correct. Correct the ones that wrong. Write “OK” by the ones that are already correct. 1. Queen Latifa’s cover of the song "Hello Stranger," an all-time classic by Barbara Lewis, really shows her amazing vocal range. 2. Latifah is at her seductive best when playing the sultry siren on Al Green's original song "Simply Beautiful". 3. The big band swings with pure blues nostalgia in the Queen’s version of "Baby Get Lost" 4. Slightly disappointing in "I Put a Spell On You," Latifa’s voice seems to lose energy. 5. But I still say, “Go out and get The Dana Owens Album” it’s as hot as she is! 4) (Answers to exercises on a separate page.) 1. OK 2. Latifah is at her seductive best when playing the sultry siren on Al Green's original song "Simply Beautiful." 3. The big band swings with pure blues nostalgia in the Queen’s version of "Baby Get Lost." 4. OK 5. But I still say, “Go out and get The Dana Owens Album!” It’s as hot as she is! .

    TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX FILM COMPANY LIMITED PRODUCTION NOTES Release Date – 1 st July 2009 Certificate – TBC Running time – TBC [email protected] www.foxpressofficeuk.com www.fox.co.uk www.picselect.com The sub-zero heroes from the worldwide blockbusters “Ice Age” and “Ice Age: The Meltdown” are back, on an incredible adventure...for the ages. Scrat is still trying to nab the ever-elusive nut (while, maybe, finding true love); Manny and Ellie await the birth of their mini-mammoth; Sid the sloth gets into trouble when he creates his own makeshift family after finding some dinosaur eggs; and Diego the saber-toothed tiger wonders if he’s growing too “soft” hanging with his pals. On a mission to rescue the hapless Sid, the gang ventures into a mysterious underground world, where they have some close encounters with dinosaurs, battle flora and fauna run amok – and meet a relentless, one-eyed, dino-hunting weasel named Buck. ICE AGE: DAWN OF THE DINOSAURS has everything audiences loved about the first two films, adding even more comedy, action, spectacular visuals – plus the movie magic of 3-D. Our beloved heroes live on, with some memorable new characters thrown into the “Ice Age” mix. Also new to the “Ice Age” franchise is an incredible and immense underground world populated by dinosaurs. The lush world provides a sharp contrast to the wintry environs of the first two “Ice Age” films, and dwarfs even the vastness of the above- ground Ice Age. It’s a land of danger, massive creatures, mammal-eating plants, a daredevil weasel, a wily romantic foil for Scrat, named Scratte – and areas with names like the Chasm of Death, and the Plates of Woe.

  • And Dolly Parton (“Transamerica,” “Steel Magnolias,” “Nine to Five”) Star in Alcon Entertainment’S and Warner Bros
    Oscar® nominees Queen Latifah (“Chicago,” “Hairspray”) and Dolly Parton (“Transamerica,” “Steel Magnolias,” “Nine to Five”) star in Alcon Entertainment’s and Warner Bros. Pictures’ “Joyful Noise,” a funny and inspirational story of music, hope, love and renewal. The small town of Pacashau, Georgia, has fallen on hard times, but the people are counting on the Divinity Church Choir to lift their spirits by winning the National Joyful Noise Competition. The choir has always known how to sing in harmony, but the discord between its two leading ladies now threatens to tear them apart. Their newly appointed director, Vi Rose Hill (Latifah), stubbornly wants to stick with their tried-and-true traditional style, while the fiery G.G. Sparrow (Parton) thinks tried-and-true translates to tired-and-old. Shaking things up even more is the arrival of G.G.’s rebellious grandson, Randy (Jeremy Jordan). Randy has an ear for music, but he also has an eye for Vi Rose’s beautiful and talented daughter, Olivia (Keke Palmer), and the sparks between the two teenagers are causing even more friction between G.G. and Vi Rose. If these two strong-willed women can put aside their differences for the good of the people in their town, they—and their choir—may make the most joyful noise of all. Starring with Latifah and Parton are Keke Palmer (“Akeelah and the Bee”), Courtney B. Vance (“Extraordinary Measures”), Jeremy Jordan (Broadway’s “Bonnie and Clyde”), and Kris Kristofferson (“Dolphin Tale”). Rounding out the main cast are Dexter Darden, Angela Grovey, Paul Woolfolk and Jesse L.
