I think those who blame technology are missing the counterpoint. Yes, technology makes it easier to bend the rules, but technology also makes it easier for us to follow the rules. I can't remember where I heard this first (maybe SportsCenter), but a good craftsman never blames his tools.<br /><br />Regards,<br />BradyBrady Spangenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00648894778162563282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714518845507850015.post-834970472811600622009-08-13T23:35:58.965-07:002009-08-13T23:35:58.965-07:00Hi Brady,

Are your assessments available for general use in classrooms? I'm thinking of using them to give my literature students a challenge. <br /><br />Regards,<br />BradyBrady Spangenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00648894778162563282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714518845507850015.post-981535921130449252009-07-25T02:27:57.304-07:002009-07-25T02:27:57.304-07:00You know that we divide English into two types: sp...You know that we divide English into two types: spoken and written English. The spoken English is made up of many indivisible units that are named “phonemes”. Like that, the written English is made up of units that are termed as “graphemes”. My question is that what is the word that can be used as the name for both “phoneme” and “grapheme”? For example people are either men or women. Both man and woman are named “human kind”. We can say “human is either man or woman” or “either female or male”. The word “human” is a name for both of them. What is the word that can be a name for both phoneme and grapheme?<br />Please write your question.

I have a nice diagnostic grammar assessment that is whole class multiple choice. http://penningtonpublishing.com/assessments.phpMark Penningtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13184265967777133129noreply@blogger.com
