DEAR MIZ JONES
|
 |
DEAR MIZ JONES is a compilation of various
letters and journal entries from one of Ms. Jones's English students. This student always tries to communicate well,
but everything he gives Ms. Jones requires a great deal of understanding and
patience on her part. |
Your students will use their own language skills in order to correct the
papers; they will do this by looking
for errors in spelling, punctuation, word usage,
word choice, mechanics, etc.
As your pupils will easily be able to tell, Ms. Jones's student is not very
knowledgeable in his language arts skills. The mistakes he makes are common and numerous. Many of the letters
and entries are based upon
jokes that the student has heard or upon his humorous confusion about certain
situations.
Your students will get a kick out of seeing just how puzzled this student is.
Since humor in the classroom
often translates into learning, your students can reinforce their own knowledge of
English and language arts as
they edit the work.
As you know, oftentimes students need to see mistakes in order to understand them.
This ready-to-reproduce
book is designed so that your students can, in effect,
become the teacher by finding errors and making corrections. The mistakes
included in the papers are everyday ones which you as an English teacher have
seen in many (maybe too many?) papers you've read.
A warning: Lots of red ink is needed! DEAR MIZ JONES is available for
just $19.95, ppd.
