Quo Vadis?



REPLACEMENTS


It's now nine foxes and beyond. As the needs evolve, some of the skinnier of the little foxes may need to be swapped out of that one-sheet checklist.

Candidates for replacement include checks on

  • MLA or APA compliance, 
  • agreement in number, and 
  • malapropisms. 
A couple of examples:

8. MLA
George, Lane .”Dude,Wheres MY Job.” Writing: a Journy. Ed .Lester, Faigley and Melanie Reuben. Toronto: Person, 2011 .(240_245).  Print

Tom Meaghers & Susan Traver. “Low wages, Srong Bocks.” The New Jersey Herald, P91. Print.

8. NUMBER—SINGULAR/PLURAL

One of the bottle is broken, and most bottles don’t break by themselves. I hope your store has a

good exchange policies. Most store will give a refund.


JUICIER SENTENCES

Taking off from our Spelling samples and with a hat tip to Lily Wong Fillmore's notion of juicy sentences, another direction to be considered is the upgrading the sophistication of each "fox" sample in order to facilitate more holistic learning.
If the correction of Spelling could facilitate that of Pronunciation, why couldn't the correction of Subject-Verb Agreement, for instance, be upgraded to precipitate a discussion in Proper Nouns or Compound-Complex Sentence Structure?
