Okay, guys.
I finished correcting ALL of your research papers. (Ms. K takes a bow while the entire class gives her a standing ovation and brings her offerings of expensive European chocolate in gratitude for correcting them all in less than a week.)
I'm quite impressed with some of your research, and I can't wait to listen to the class debates.
I noticed that some of you need a brush-up on your grammar, so to help you out, I'm introducing you to a virtual guest lecturer: Grammar Girl. Her podcasts are quite interesting to listen to, so I've downloaded them into the "temp file share" folder of your class folder. They are in MP3 format, so you can copy and save them onto your ipod or your MP3 player for later use. (Note: when downloading, it might helped to save it first to your desktop, and THEN copy to your ipod.) You can see the text version of her mini-lessons and other cool grammar links at her website.
Today we will be listening to one of her podcasts entitled "Wordiness and Idioms". The neat thing is this: some of you have specific needs in brushing up your grammar, and with Grammar Girl's podcasts, you can simply take five minutes on your own to listen to the podcast that fits your needs.
Now isn't that cool or am I the only one completely jazzed about this?
