Questions About Student Writing
1. How can we incentivize students to stop using “impact” as a verb?
2. How can we impact their writing in a way that stops them from using the word “incentivize”?
3. Can we make it a principal principle of writing that “principle” and “principal” mean different things, and you have to know which?
That is all.
Paul Krugman in The New York Times
In my school days in the US, we were always taught that the school “principal” is always your “pal”. I never quite believed it,but it did help me remember the spelling.
