This may be a silly question that's already been answered, but what exactly IS "scope and sequence"? I'm still a student and haven't been exposed to much grammar theory (but plenty of grammar), so I'm a bit unfamiliar with some of the terminology used on this LISTSERV. I just want to make sure I can keep up with what's being said. Mrs. Kolln, my college grammar class used your book "Understanding English Grammar," and it's what got me started on my goal to become an English teacher and to remain a grammarphile. I would like to say thank you for writing it; it helped me understand my own language so much better, and I am using that knowledge now in my university's writing center to help others understand it, too. - Allison To join or leave this LISTSERV list, please visit the list's web interface at: http://listserv.muohio.edu/archives/ateg.html and select "Join or leave the list" Visit ATEG's web site at http://ateg.org/
