Teaching Conventions in a state-Mandated Testing Context.

In Warne article "Teaching Conventions in a State-Mandated Testing Context" Warne states that "On days when the students struggle to put the parts together into a sentence, I treated it like a word play, a puzzle, or a game. Their experimentation carried over into their writing." I think this is the best way to approach students instead or forcing them to write. After having Warne in our classroom for a session this afternoon, I realized how she was really connected with her High School students. I think Bonnie is one of the teachers who stand for a change in the educational system. She have proved that using a book review in order to teach grammar is a good technique especially if some of the students do not like to write. It is a very good way to approach them in order to have successful students in writing.
