- Title
Grammar, Ownership, and Usefulness: Student-Centered Inquiries into Authentic Uses of Grammatical Concepts through The Grammar Inquiry Project.

- Abstract
This piece describes an instructional process designed to help students take ownership of their knowledge of grammatical concepts and see those concepts as relevant and useful to their own lives and interests. It provides teachers with four recommendations for putting this instructional process into action in their classrooms. In this process, students conduct grammar-focused inquiries into texts of their choosing, identifying examples of grammatical concepts used in those texts and reflecting on the importance of those concepts to the text's effectiveness. These inquiries merge key principles of culturally-relevant teaching and effective grammar instruction, allowing students to see grammatical concepts as tools that are purposefully used in a wide range of texts.
