This innovative book explores how digital language and tools can be used to teach applied grammar in the classroom. With a spotlight on internet language, Crovitz, Devereaux, and Moran demonstrate how students can practice rhetorical grammar with digital tools in order to use language purposefully. With an abundance of original strategies, prompts, and questions that tap into students' existing skills, the book is designed to help students build a meta-awareness of language through critical digital literacy. Drawing on examples and activities from TikTok, Twitter, memes, texting, online videos, digital media, and more, chapters feature lesson plans centered around real-world digital scenarios that will engage and inspire students.

Ideal for preservice and inservice English teachers, this book offers a blueprint for helping students use and evaluate language in the digital world and includes practical suggestions for using technology and rhetorical grammar to engage with and compose digital texts.
