		<title>Let me sum up.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I have to admit that my blog has been less than super successful, though I did all the required work.  I like the idea of using blogs, and I have gained useful information from the work my classmates have been doing (much more than from my own blog, I&#8217;m afraid).
I think the trouble [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jennnny4.wordpress.com&blog=688402&post=12&subd=jennnny4&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>6th annual Teaching &amp; Learning with Technology Fair!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I attended the Teaching and Learning with Technology Fair on Wednesday, March 21.  It was a yucky bus ride downtown for me, but I managed (with some help!) to find the conference in time for the presentation of awards and the keynote address.  Dr. Peter Doolittle from Virginia Tech gave the presentation on [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jennnny4.wordpress.com&blog=688402&post=11&subd=jennnny4&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>English is a secret code.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This article says nothing that I don&#8217;t know and everything that I already have been saying.  But hear me out on it.  It&#8217;s very convincing.  And once again, though it is about English, it was not written in America, England, Canada, or Australia, and it was not written by an American, and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jennnny4.wordpress.com&blog=688402&post=13&subd=jennnny4&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Creativity versus Imitation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I found this article because it had the word &#8220;grammar&#8221; in it and therefore came up in my search.  (One of my searches; I have tried several).  It is not about instructing in grammar, but it is about literature and I thought it was interesting.  We shall begin with the sentence in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jennnny4.wordpress.com&blog=688402&post=14&subd=jennnny4&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The pendulum swings back?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The title of this article caught my eye right away: &#8220;Grammar gets more respect&#8221; by Dennis M. Clausen. Grammar? Respect? Splendid.
As it turns out, I like the article a lot, so I&#8217;m going to go ahead and copy/paste the whole thing.
I suppose it was only a matter of time before a university professor who writes [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jennnny4.wordpress.com&blog=688402&post=15&subd=jennnny4&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>I thought this was interesting.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Found here.  I don&#8217;t have much to say on the article except that I think that the debate over whether grammar instruction could stop or cause violence is very amusing&#8230;

 Teaching grammar stops violence.  French Minister of Education Gilles de Robien insists that his new initiative to improve grammar teaching in French schools will actually [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jennnny4.wordpress.com&blog=688402&post=16&subd=jennnny4&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>A time and place for everything.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The pendulum of educational theory swings back and forth, and inevitably older generations of teachers mourn the loss of the &#8220;old days.&#8221;

According to Alice Ndaba, a retired English teacher, the &#8216;rot&#8217; began in the early 1980s when schools started giving up on teaching grammar. The problem, she stresses, is further compounded by textbook publishers who [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jennnny4.wordpress.com&blog=688402&post=8&subd=jennnny4&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Leading by example&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have to admit that this article made me laugh a little.  It is from allafrica.com, a source that collects articles from all over the African continent.  In this location, the content is in English, though it is a secondary language in many African countries.  This particular article deals with the problems [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jennnny4.wordpress.com&blog=688402&post=9&subd=jennnny4&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>5 step essay?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I want to write and speak correctly.  “Correctly” may or may not be a debatable term, but in general I want it to mean that I am not ridiculed for the way I use the English language.  If the trend really is towards descriptivist linguistics, and if the attitude really is “as long as you [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jennnny4.wordpress.com&blog=688402&post=7&subd=jennnny4&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
