Martha-
I remembered it was an ATEG book just
after I left the computer for the afternoon. Ah, well, what can I
say? Mind like a steel sieve, mine. Anyhow, it really helped me to
understand the modern contextual arguments and ways to blend grammar with
writing instruction in good ways, I found it readable and, perhaps the best
compliment of all, useful.
Thanks to everyone involved in it!

Hi Patty,
"Grammar Alive," I'm proud to say, is the product of ATEG,
published by NCTE in 2003, with Brock Haussamen as lead author--and many ATEG
contributors. I'm glad you found it wonderful!
Martha
I'm in the process (once again) of re-organizing my library, so I don't have a lot of bibliographic information, but when I read your post, Tony, my first thought was "Grammar Alive!", a text my English-grammar-for-teachers instructor used that I thought was wonderful. Anyone have a copy handy?

I will be teaching a summer class which is both an introduction to linguistics and an introduction to English grammar for teachers. Are there are texts which group members have found worthwhile? Thank you, Tony DeFazio
