Teaching high school grammar can be one of the most arduous tasks for any English teacher. I find that I easily run out of resources before my students have completely mastered a standard. While I know that many of the students have had amazing grammar teachers in the past, I still have to reteach subject-verb agreement before I can introduce parallel structure. I also have to reteach pronoun-antecedent agreement before I can explain what pronoun-special antecedent agreement means. Over the past three years, I have really studied and research different online resources for my students. I wanted/needed something fun and different to assist me in reviewing grammar concepts. I have three go-to websites that I pretty much use on a daily basis. I will share them below:
Grammar Girl:
http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/grammar-girl This website includes examples, exercises, and podcasts that I can share with my students.
Chomp Chomp: www.chompchomp.com
My students love it when I use this website. The exercises are fun and easy to understand and offer great ACT review.
Purdue Owl:

I use this website for my AP classes when teaching MLA/APA format, as well as when I am reviewing basic paragraph structure.
