Capitalize the i when used as a proper noun.
How do you get students to use correct grammar? Many of the students want to talk about themselves using the llittle i instead of capitalzing I.
Any thoughts?
If their words are written digitally, challenge the students to engage the software to activate or modify autocorrect. After this is done, require students' written words to do the same.
My students are only functionally literate. As in - they can read, almost. In terms of grammar I will generally try to correct things if I see them, but it happens so much I have almost grown numb to it myself. There's a new site I saw advertised a few days ago that I've been pointing my students to - GRAMMARLY.COM - it supposedly finds and corrects grammar mistakes much better than MS Word. We'll see if it makes a difference on the next written assignment, but that's my solution for now.
Good Luck!
