I mentioned in an earlier post the Language Matters questions that are included in Emerging. I guess I love these questions best because I never seem to have time to address issues of language and grammar in my classroom. So any issues always seem more pressing: understanding the reading, forming an argument/thesis, working with quotation, structuring organization—sometimes there just isn’t room for the apostrophe. I often feel pulled between competing pedagogical aims: teaching writing and teaching grammar. Do you know what I mean? How do you negotiate the two?
