Are you a teacher seeking a fresh way to teach writing, especially as you guide students over Zoom? Are you a parent trying to help your teenagers pass grammar tests, write high school papers, and craft college application essays? Are you homeschooling your child and desperate for sturdy lessons that pack a little levity? I want to help you. I’ve created two suites of lessons plans to accompany Sin and Syntax. They are envisioned to take you through two separate semester-long courses (see below). The lesson plans offer options for students of varying ages. The e-book, published in August 2019, is available for $6.99 on multiple platforms:

The first of the two semester-long courses focuses on grammar and writing. It is suitable for high school, college, and professional-level students. The second suite focuses more on the “Music” section of Sin and Syntax, encouraging more advanced writers to explore their own voices and to experiment with literary devices like metaphor, melody, and rhythm.
