We met in my room and discussed the section on syntax. It is a rather extensive section, with many different things going on. We came to the following understandings:
- While reading the section, much of the information served as a needed refresher, and a few terms were completely new to us (or at least me).
- We feel that while it is not so important to have students memorize the terms, there are many syntactical and rhetorical techniqes that we could help them utilize.
- As a department, we need to further discuss what grammar & syntax needs direct instruction and reinforcement, and we need to determine some sort of plan for department implementation.
- We also decided to spend at least one more week on syntax. For this Wednesday we each are planning on bringing rough ideas to start to establish
- essential grammar stuff & when to introduce/reinforce
- an overall plan for some of the syntax stuff, including lesson plan ideas
See you Wednesday at 7:30.
