Any thing that was particularly remarkable/helpful?) (~ 1-2 sentences) • Its relevance to research on teaching grammar in writing courses (~ 1-2 sentences) Please refer to the "Sample Annotated Bibliography-7th edition" in this week's Content for an example. Step 4: Post your response. Step 5: Comment on at least one of your classmates' posts. Please note: You're not writing about teaching grammar for your own writing assignments.
