Gabrielle O'Ryan, Mike Lefcourt and Marianne de Pierres. I'll be presenting some of the

videos alongside my team of Amber, Catherine, James and Dakoda. Hi! I'm Amber and I love

grammar because it gives me a language to talk to about language. I'm Catherine and

I love grammar because I'm good at it and it makes me happy. Hi! I'm Dakoda. I love

grammar because I love understanding how and why language works. I also love that it helps

enhance my writing which is another thing I love to do. I love grammar because I love

writing and nothing helps writing like grammar does. We'll present material that covers grammatical

principles, word usage, style, sentence and paragraph structure, and punctuation. We'll

show you video clips of interviews with distinguished grammarians. We'll challenge you with quizzes

and writing activities that will help you to enhance the quality of your writing. We'll

also ask you to enter into discussion and assess the work of your peers. We want you

to absorb and apply the principles that we cover in the next few weeks so that you can

respond confidently to the unprecedented and accelerating demand of writing in the 21st

digital century. Everyone is writing much more than they ever did in many more arenas

than they had access to before the rise and rise of social media on the Internet. I hope

you enjoy what my colleagues and I have planned for you over the next few weeks as you study

Write101x English Grammar and Style.
