This is sort of an odd “The Best…” list.
I’ve written a lot in this blog and in my books about using student mistakes as an opportunity and not as a problem, and have an extremely long The Best Posts, Articles & Videos About Learning From Mistakes & Failures list.
This list, however, has a different take on the subject. I’ve only got three related resources now, but I’m hoping readers will contribute more.
You’ll see what I’m looking for after looking at these sites:
27 Reasons Why You Should Always Proofread is from BuzzFeed.
Wonderful Video: Brazilian Kids Learn English By Correcting Tweets From Celebrities
The Best Collections Of Funny Signs (For Use In English Classes)
In other words, I’m looking for more resources that, in a funny (though not cruel) way, highlight errors that have been made in language usage. Students can then identify the mistakes, fix them, and learn along the way — and, with a little luck, have fun doing it!
How about this one, Larry: http://foodnetworkhumor.com/2011/03/we-found-it-the-corniest-magazine-pun-of-all-time/
Try out the Anguished English book series or the student oriented picture book by the author of Eats, Shoots, and Leaves.
