The Ultimate Inspirational Writing Quotes (as Memes) Lately I've been on a kind of meme creation craze. Basically, I started making these images with quotes a couple weeks ago and haven't stopped. I wasn't sure what it was about putting text on images, whether to promote my books, my websites, or, quite honestly, simply for the sake of creating them. It's addicting. It's a lot of fun! It really is. So lately I've been uploading the memes to my facebook page and quite a few people asked me if they can share them, where they can get the higher resolution versions to print for themselves, and some have even asked if they can use the images on their blogs.

I love being a writer. Stop comparing yourself to others. We need your story.
Task-based grammar teaching By Lindsay Clandfield Lindsay Clandfield discusses task-based grammar teaching and provides a lesson plan based on this methodology which teaches the grammar point used to. Introduction One approach to teaching language that has attracted a lot of attention over the past 25 years is a task-based approach to learning and teaching.

The advantage of the task-based approach, according to its advocates, is that during the task the learners are allowed to use whatever language they want, freeing them to focus entirely on the meaning of their message. One danger of task-based approaches is that focus on meaning could come at the expense of focus on form. Preparation Pre-task warmer
