Virtual Salt

Submitted by Maggie Harnew on 19 February 2011.

A fascinating site from Robert Harris, a retired English professor. There are masses of teaching ideas such as these Recommendations for writing comments on student papers. Useful reference page about roots and prefixes along and more pages cover punctuation, conjunctions, short stories, plagiarism and critical thinking.
