About this title

Synopsis

Your students will really pay attention when you use Phunny Stuph. Jokes and humorous urban legends make up all 100 proofreading exercises in this useful book. Use the exercises as a class warm-up, or photocopy them to pass out to your students. The errors include a little bit of everything―missing punctuation, spelling mistakes, errors in usage, sentence fragments, and more. Each exercise includes teaching notes and an example showing possible corrections. Most of the exercises are short―just right for quick, frequent lessons that will really help your students improve their skills.

Phunny Stuph helps students sharpen their skills at recognizing and correcting errors in spelling, punctuation, capitalization, sentence structure, and usage.
