1. Teaching Rhetorical Grammar You will need: 1) Semester 1 Binder 2) Rhetorical Grammar Pretest in folder 3) Post-it notes to tab grammar sections Erin Jones October 2013 for ERWC workshops

2. With your group, discuss: How do you teach grammar in your classroom? Do you teach grammar formally, systematically, and on a regular basis, or do you approach grammar organically, teaching elements of grammar when problems arise or opportunities come up?
