Title: Great for new teachers
Review: I am a grad student working towards a certificate and masters degree in teaching high school English. This book gives a great starting point for teaching grammar in a meaningful and memorable way. I used this book to put together a minilesson on parallel structure for my classmates. It really helped me to simplify this complicated topic and make it understandable for those in my class. I feel that I have a better understanding of how specific grammatical structures influence quality of writing. Great book. I recommend it. The CD-rom is a little outdated in my opinion. However, it does contain the example quotations from the book in easy copy and paste format that facilitates handout and transparency printing.
