Discussion Questions (or, as always, you can respond to one of your own creation)

1) In Ch. 4, Smith and Wilhelm outline a myriad of reasons for errors in student writing. Which of these do you find particularly compelling? Why? Any that you see your students' experiences?

2) What is your pedagogic stance on how grammar should be taught in a classroom? In what ways has reading //Getting it Right// changed, added, confirmed your beliefs about grammar instruction? If it hasn't at all impacted you, feel free to explain that as well.
