Podcast

I was instantly pulled in to watch this Grammar Girl: How to Use Elipses podcast as it seemed unconventional yet useful. It comes from a series of podcasts about how to become a better writer. Many English students often stumble over simple, or more complicated grammar rules within their writing. This podcast can be used as a unique and interesting way for students to brush up on specific grammar skills. Grammar Girl can even be used as an individual or small group tutorial for students who need a little extra help in areas that the majority of the class does not. If common grammar problems are found amongst the majority of the class, it can also be used as one of many methods to teach, re-teach, review, and brush up on skills for the entire class. A very normal, converstational tone of voice is used in explaining grammar terms with real world examples, and overall, it is trendy and educational.
