Websites for English Teachers

WebEnglishTeacher

There are so many places to go for good ideas and so much that a search can turn up on a specific topic, but without a doubt, one of my favorite websites is webenglishteacher.com.  Whether you are looking for material on writing, grammar, literature, or just something fun/funny, this has been a fantastic resource.  It has many links to other sites, some of which offer lessons for sale, but its ideas alone have added to my classroom.

GrammarGirl

Grammargirl.com is a fantastic online resource to check yourself before you wreck yourself.  For those of us who are pretty "old school,"  this is as close to a pocket Warriner's as I have found.

Grammar Bytes

If online interactive quizzes and accompanying handouts or even links to YouTube videos is something that will help reinforce a mini lesson, then this is a website for you.  From parts of speech to fragments and parallel structure, this site makes grammar more fun than, well, okay, my old Warriner's grammar book.

Purdue OWL - Online Writing Lab

As students really achieve success and are working on research projects or just need some higher level instruction on writing, this is an easy to use, informative, website.  It has quizzes to take and shows formatting in MLA and APA styles.
