Presentation of the Elements of Style at 2008-11-28 07:05:00
I just came across these wonderful YouTube videos taking quite a new ’strange’ approach to teaching the elements of style. It uses a number of clips from “The Office” and music videos by weird Al, Eifel65 and others. The pronunciation is not the best, but the content and explanations are excellent. They are most certainly unorthodox. I’m sure many younger learners might learn more watching these two ‘dudes’ teaching the elements of style than in some classrooms!
Warning! Not for those who prefer traditional approaches to education!
Discussion topics include:
puns, extended metaphors, analogies, similes, etc.
