Traditional Grammar For A Modern Classroom, Madison Jones
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
This project explores the different methods currently being used to teach grammar in a secondary Language Arts classroom.

While there are many different current methods being used to teach grammar, this paper ultimately makes an argument that traditional grammar still can play a powerful role in the classrooms of tomorrow.
