My first grade son does a weekly exercise called "You be the teacher", where they're asked to correct spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors.
I wish my students had some practice. Here is an actual e-mail sent by a student to the entire campus today:
Hello school my name is madeup name and i am sending this email out to
tell u about the kwaanza program presented by The black studies institute
it is an event where we do a tribute to kwaanza its Thursday
December 3 at 8pm everyone is welcome to come its a great event it should
be fun. Hope to se you there!!!
No location. No punctuation, the wrong its is used, and see is spelled wrong!
And students wonder why they can't get a job...
