The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Click To Tweet
Thanks for the links, Elizabeth! The two that got my attention were the ones on speaking. Research has shown that when we use more than one modality (reading and speaking, for instance), we learn more and understand more. That's why reading out loud can really help you catch mistakes, word overuse, and so on. I always suggest to my students that they read their papers out loud before they edit and turn them in.
It’s a great suggestion, Margot! That always helps me when I’m editing.
Wonderful list, Elizabeth. Thank you for the mention. All the best.
Nice post, Gwen!
Another helpful list, Elizabeth. Thank you for the mention.
