Last week we watched a video about a teaching challenge, and about punctuation. Now I have to admit that the benefits for your own punctuation may not be great, but you certainly will have gained an awareness of the damage that can be done with false punctuation.Even more interesting I find the cultural differences between the school in the video and our schools.
You will find the video by clicking on the book or quicktime and I hope you will be able to watch it on your computer. Or you can find the site with other possibilities besides quicktime HERE.
I also hope that you will take the chance to discuss by using the comments function.
Things to think about:
What did you gain for your own punctuation knowledge?
How well did Lynne Truss do in your eyes? Do you agree with the teacher?
What differences do you see between that school and your school? Can you go beyond just the superficial?
