Missed Periods and Other Grammar Scares: How to Avoid Unplanned and Unwanted Grammar Errors


Description

Grammar has finally let its hair down! Unlike uptight grammar books that overwhelm us with every single grammar rule, this is like a bikini: it's fun, flirty, and covers only the most important bits. Its lessons, which are 100 per cent free of complicated grammar jargon, have been carefully selected to include today's most common errors - the ones that confuse our readers or make them wonder if we are, in fact, smarter than a fifth grader. What is the proper use of an apostrophe? When should an ellipsis be used instead of an em dash? This book shows grammar as it's never been seen before.

This first-of-its-kind compendium unites perspectives from artists, scholars, arts educators, policymakers and activists to investigate the complex system of values surrounding artistic-educational endeavors. Addressing a range of artistic domains, ranging from music and dance, to visual arts and storytelling, contributors offer an exploration and criticism of the conventions that govern our interactions with these practices. Artistic Citizenship focuses the responsibilities, and functions of amateur as well as professional artists in society, and introduces a novel set of ethics that are conventionally dismissed in discourses on the topic. The authors address the Missed Periods and Other Grammar Scares: How to Avoid Unplanned and Unwanted Grammar Errors free epub questions: How does the concept of citizenship relate to the arts? What socio-cultural, political, and ethical "goods" can artistic engagements create for people worldwide? Do particular artistic endeavors have distinctive potentials for nurturing artistic citizenship? What are the most effective strategies in the arts to institute change and/or resist local, national, and world problems? What responsibilities do artists and consumers of art have in order to facilitate the relationship between the arts and citizenship?
