If you are like me, teaching grammar is not one of your favorite things to do. And yet, it is necessary. In an attempt to make grammar slightly more interesting (or at least more entertaining) I've started a comic strip blog entitled Zombie Grammar. These short comic strips are only meant to reinforce standardized English grammatical "rules." If you like them, let me know. I'm going to attempt to create a strip for every common grammatical problem composition students face.
These comics were inspired by John Roach's Five Common Grammar Errors as Illustrated by Zombies. It is very funny and also very helpful - definitely worth checking out!
