For interested parties, here's another grammar resource recommendation. (No financial interest here either.) Image Grammar : Using Grammatical Structures to Teach Writing(Bk & Cdrom) by Harry R. Noden Image Grammar is based on the premise that a writer is much like an artist who "paints" images, using grammatical structures as tools. In presenting this approach, Noden divides chapters into two sections: concepts and strategies. The concepts illustrate how professional writers have used "image grammar" to develop their art; while the strategies provide teachers with classroom-tested lessons to help students discover what Joan Didion calls the "infinite power of grammar." This book comes with a companion CD containing more than sixty complete lesson strategies and one hundred illustrative examples--all of which are ready for use at the push of a button. The CD works with any Web browser, contains dozens of images to stimulate student writing, and features more than eighty links to thousands of additional images.
