Writer's Window

I stumbled across a great website when I was conducting research for my research paper. Writer's Window is a site where students can submit drafts of papers and receive comments from all over the world. I'll try it out and let you know! I'm pretty excited about it.

Prepositional Phrases

Follow this link for assistance with prepositional phrases. Print out any quiz you take, and I will add 10 extra credit points to your lowest grade. If your printer does not work, have a parent sign your agenda stating that you took a quiz and reviewed the material on the link.

Sharing Presentations

I found the following website that "shares" all sorts of presentations. I found a presentation on phrases that I can use in my classroom when teaching appositive and prepositional phrases. I hope you find one you can use.
