Hi Max,
In the workshop, I showed people activities that I have developed for
incorporating grammar into other instruction, such as literature and
composition. Mostly it was relating particular grammatical constructions
to particular literary works or genres of text, or playing with
grammatical constructions in creative ways. We also had discussions on
dialect diversity and how to handle the correctness issue, although
these were less of a focus.
Some of the activities are in my (not yet published) book; some come
from classes I teach here.
I think most of the participants liked the group. I was glad to help
them out, although it was rather patchy -- not really a coherent
program. Maybe that will emerge with time.
Thanks for the query!
Johanna
