Class this past Monday made me a little nervous about teaching grammar. There is a lot I am going to have to re-learn. It seems natural to teach numbers in order, but I understand that then students will always need to go through the whole sequence to remember the number they need to say. I guess it is similar to learning certain phrases in English, it is best to learn in chuncks; but students also need to become familiar with the words individually, in their other forms. Am I being general enough? :) I would really like to see someone teaching a lesson on grammar. Last night in my Emergant Literacy class we watched a clip of someone conducting some intensive phonics work with three students. It was excellent modeling.

Since I have learned English in EFL context I exposed to grammar class a lot. I do not know how can I help you but I joined one of Aaron class while we were teaching we noticed that two is better than one:)
