Student Examples “ Grillz” Everybody in my squad has different grillz.  Timaine’s grill are like flashlights going across your eyes.  And me, my grillz are crazy.  They never stay the same more than once.  Tan’s grill is weird and cool.  He doesn’t have to smile they sticks out.  Cameronm’s grill is slip-in-slipout.  And Tim who is the laziest has grills like mirrors. But my brother’s grillz like glistening stars, like thousands of suns glowing in the sky, shining lighters @ a concert, so bright hurting when you look @ them, is the light in the room when we have no light, is the disco balls for every party.  The stars, the suns and brother’s grillz that look like disco balls.
“ Hair” All of my friends have different hair.  London’s hair is like a snake, all smooth and shiny.  My hair is strait.  It never curls or frizzes.  Spencer’s hair is short and healthy.  HE likes to make it into a mohawk.  Hayley’s hair is dark chocolate brown-helps her eyes standout.  And Leigha who is extremely blonde, has hair like sunshine. But Brendon’s hair, Brendon’s hair like a kitten with soft, soft fur, like the dark smoke billowing from a raging fire sweet to put your nose in when watching a movie, watching the movie and smelling the watermelon shampoo, is the look of a charcoal night sky, is the feeling of silk slipping through your fingers, the watermelon scent, the appearnce of the night sky and Brendon’s hair that feels like silk.
“ Cars” Everybody in our family has different cars.  Heather’s car is like a crow, that flys by.  And me, my car is perfect.  It never breaks down.  Natalie’s car is bright and strong.  It can take anything.  Aimee’s car is suitable big like a moving bus.  And Granny, who is the oldest has car like a daisy. But my Dad’s car, my Dad’s car, like burnt toast, like an old person about to die, a faded shirt, a burning flame that went out, is the smell of a hot day, is the look of a dried out pepper.  The shirt, the flame and Dad’s car that looks like a dried out pepper.

The argument against traditional grammar instruction: 1946 Curriculum Commission of the National Council of Teachers of English recommended that “all teaching of grammar separate from the manipulation of sentences be discontinued…since every scientific attempt to prove that knowledge of grammar is useful has failed.”
A model of integrating language instruction in the classroom is based on Patrick Hartwell’s five types of grammar and how each is acquired: (Simmons, 2006). Grammar 1: “The Grammar in our Heads” Grammar 2:  Linguistic descriptions of how Grammar    1 is used Grammar 3: Language etiquette, “good” and “bad”    grammar Grammar 4: “School grammar” Grammar 5: Stylistic grammar
