My best grammar instruction came from a writing teacher in college who, upon going through a stack of papers, would assign each of us a mistake we made to correct and present to the class. We had to use our grammar books (GASP!) to look up the problem, look for examples in our reading, and then teach it to the class. Amazing. I often want to take our syntax unit, turn it on its head, and do just that. Interesting read: Rhetoric for Writing Teachers, one of the books that helped shape my writing prof's writing curriculum.
