Go over the material on grammar checkers in the handbook. Have students pay attention to the sentences that their word processor’s grammar checker flags. The challenge is to come in with a correct sentence the grammar checker thought was wrong. Students should use the handbook, comparing what the grammar checker flagged as wrong to the handbook definition.
