I love the grammar resources, Sue. I teach English and I’ve always hated the idea of “doing” or “covering” grammar. You’ve seen my doodles on Peak Perspective, and I use my drawing skills in the classroom. I love “drawing” grammar on the large canvas of a white board 🙂

Glad you like them! I enjoy playing around with grammar concepts to make them more fun for everyone. And I would love to see your doodles! If I ever get around to writing a book on this stuff (which I would love to get to), I will be sure to get in touch. 🙂
