Welcome to the world of Standard Deviants School, where learning is anything but standard. Standard Deviants School is a topic-based video series designed specifically for use in the classroom:
Each program concentrates on a single topic - no winding or waiting to cover the specific material you need.
Each program contains full public performance rights.
10-26 minutes per program - enough to illustrate or reinforce your lesson without dominating class time.
Humorous skits, mnemonics and computer graphics will help students understand and remember the material.
Co-written and reviewed by professors from leading universities.
The Standard Deviants look at sentence problems, including sentence fragments, comma splices, and run-on sentences. Then we examine common grammatical traps, such as tense shifts, vague pronoun references, and faulty parallels. We'll wrap things up with a look at acceptable grammar 'errors' - like the use of contractions, splitting infinitives, and using prepositions at the end of sentences. 26 minutes.
