Introduction

(3 minutes)
  • Prompt the class to think about a common school rule, such as “No running in the hallways.” Ask students to think about a time when it would be okay to break the rule. Accept answers and allow for discussion.
  • Point out that there are often exceptions to the rules when it comes to grammar, too.
