Idea, Paul: Make up a list of fancy verbs with their usual prepositions
and have your students make a hip-hop song out of it. Singing burns
things into the memory; it brings the right side of the brain into the
learning task. People who lose language skills due to left-brain damage
can sometimes still sing songs with words. (I don't know if they
understand the words.)
