Podcasts Have Come to Class!
Your homework for Nov. 26 is to listen to two Grammar Girl podcasts I assign.

Please remember the debacle of getting some of you signed up for the blog and do not repeat this mistake. Try to listen to the podcasts NOW and come see me if you are having a problem, rather than frantically e-mailing me the day before they are supposed to be heard.

Very easy instructions: If you have an iPod (or at least iTunes) click on Podcasts and then click on the right-hand "Education" button. You should be able to find the Grammar Girl podcast center there, or click this link.

If you don't have access to these (or even if you do!) visit Grammar Girl's very own blog by clicking here. You can even a leave a comment for her! To listen via the blog, click on the "Play" triangle under the title. Wait for the dark gray to fill up the entire slide and then click on "Play" again. You will hear the sweet musings of grammar instantly!

Find the following podcasts and listen to them instantly on your computer:

#1 "Nixing the Horrid Of" and
#2 "Wrestling With That First Sentence"

You'll have to scroll all the way down, so make sure you are listening to the right topic!
