Teaching college level does not mean you must avoid inane mnemonic strategies. Recently, my students have had trouble ending sentences with prepositions. Boost mobile is keeping the people down with their "Where you at" ad campaign. At the end of class today I listed the most common prepositions and taught them to my students in the form of a song.
The song is as follows, sung to the tune of "Yankee Doodle Dandy"
About above across after along among around at
Before beside between against within without beneath through

I hope they were recording my performance and that I will one day find myself singing like a moron on YouTube.
Apparently my posts are required to have a picture of Mimi. I happily oblige. Get with it, Celia.
Caught digging in the plant. Naughty!

I bet they love you. Can you film yourself and post it? You can be my kids' homework for today.
Nor, Mimi is getting cuter everyday if that's even possible. I love her bikini pic! So sweet!
Oh, next time we're on the phone I'm gonna have to hear you sing the prepisition song. Get ready.
I think I am going to teach my 5th grader that song, maybe you could come and perform it "live" for him when you are in town.
Oh, the plant digging is an important developmental step. I have a great pic of my girls doing it that I'll show you! I love her dress in her cute car.
I love Mimi! I want to squeeze her!
