Integrating Mechanics with Literature and Writing.
Lyons, Bill
English Journal, v76 n6 p51-52 Oct 1987
Proposes an integrated approach to teaching mechanics that focuses on literature and writing to maintain student interest, but incorporates enough mechanics to eliminate isolated skill lessons. Illustrates the method with an imaginary class discussion of wording in a seventh grader's short story that prompts revision of spelling and diction. (JG)
