Welcome everyone to the Craft & Draft podcast! We are so excited to bring to you what we love, talking with you about workshop, literacy, writing, reading, and real world teaching.

Today, we are discussing one of the HOT BUTTON issues of English teaching—grammar, and how it should be taught.

In this episode, Pam states that grammar has been one of the biggest causes of contention between teachers, and has often led to arguments in trainings or in meetings. Together, Pam and Jacob examine why grammar exists, how rules came to be, and whether isolated grammar practice is useful at all.

And… a small diversion into Catsup… But you’ll have to listen to hear it all!
