**CyberGrammar self guided

I do have a self guided lesson in Moodle. It's not bad. There's the lesson and the test/quiz. Check those out. I think Jason created something there, too, but honestly, I can't remember.

Learning through images and presentation ** Example
 * 1) Students will pick a partner to work with.
 * 2) Each group will receive a different grammar tool**.**
 * 3) They will construct two images that co-exsists with with a sentence example of the tool.
 * 4) Definition: find the definition of the concept/word, rewrite the definition in your own words. Provide examples that represent their tool.
 * 5) A scene with a sentence that uses their tool.
 * 6) Grammar tools (how did you make this list? )
 * 7) Complex sentences (I like this, but would add other types of sentences, especially compound, as students often get those wrong).
 * 8) Subordinate clauses (yes!! but also we'd need to teach subordinating conjunctions)
 * 9) Participial phrases (infinitive phrases also? )
 * 10) Appositive phrases
 * 11) Absolutes: combining two sentences, usually by deleting was/were or is/are
 * include -ing word and express action
 * provide descriptive details, not action details
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">do not modify anything int he main clause
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Example: <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">I found myself in a freshmen classroom, their timid faces exposing their nerves.
 * 1) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Transitions
 * 2) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Connectors (conjunctions?)

What about mixed pairs, like you're/your. These drive me completely bonkers.
