English punctuation isn't exactly a likely subject for a lively video, but of course that doesn't stop the Standard Deviants. In this production the cast of exuberant young entertainers brings its distinctive shtick--consisting of good graphics, bad jokes, and bizarre examples--to some of the less luminous stars of the punctuation galaxy. The tape begins by illuminating the differences between dashes and hyphens and the rules for using each, and there are plenty of mnemonic devices offered to help students keep things straight in their memory. The cast proceeds to present the rules of usage for apostrophes (including lots of examples of constructing contractions and plurals), parentheses, quotation marks, brackets, slashes, and ellipses. This may not sound terribly exciting, but the Standard Deviants valiantly plow away. Their unorthodox approach ultimately pays off. The oddball examples offered along with glitzy computer graphics do make the many lessons memorable. Students who are struggling to master punctuation, as well as those who feel they need a periodic review of punctuation rules, would find this a helpful way to file away the rules one needs to write correctly. --Robert J. McNamara
Product Description
A mastery of punctuation can make your writing clearer and add emphasis. English Punctuation Part 2 covers the less common punctuation marks: dashes, hyphens, brackets, slashes and ellipses (no, this is not when the moon moves in front of the sun - that's an eclipse). Forget those expensive and cumbersome style guides, this DVD even covers the rules for quotations!
