A Fun, Free Grammar Play from My Aunt

     When I was in school, I was fortunate to have my aunt as my 7th grade English teacher and 10th grade English teacher.  I remember keeping a writing journal in her class, hearing funny stories written by Lewis Grizzard,  and learning about the eight parts of speech.  In fact, I distinctly remember a 107-question test on the parts of speech.  Basically, my aunt had written 107 sentences and underlined one word in each sentence.  Students had to write the part of speech of that word as it was used in the sentence.  I was the only student to make a 100% on the test.  It wasn't an easy test for a 7th grader.  I chalked it up to having a wonderful teacher.  Last week, my aunt came from Alabama to visit me and for me to help her get established on www.teacherspayteachers.com.  I was so glad to help.  I would like to share with you a free product she placed on the site.  Let Me Tell You About Myself is a classroom play to increase grammar skills.  The play specifically addresses when to use myself--a word that baffles many.  I can't wait to use it with my students and I hope you feel the same way.

I Want to Be of Service to You

      First of all, I owe those of you who originally visited my blog a huge apology.  When I started this blog, I was so excited to branch into the blog world.  The only way blogs work is if they are updated "regularly."  The last time I posted, I was living in Alabama; I moved there after my husband got stationed in Japan.  Since then, I got an offer to return to my previous teaching job.  I happily returned, but between the move, getting back into my former routine, and working on my Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction with an Emphasis on the Digital Learner, I have been one busy lady.  One thing I have learned through my coursework, is that it is important to have a digital presence.  I thoroughly love following  I'm Lovin' Lit's blog.  If you're a middle school language arts teacher like me, then I highly recommend following her.  My goal is to share my teaching tips and resources with you, just like Erin Cobb (I'm Lovin' Lit's blogger) does.
