Student activity

A PowerPoint guide to how to write clearly, and without ambiguity, which uses jokes to demonstrate why ambiguity is used intentionally, and then gives examples of student writing where the meaning is unclear, particularly through the use of pronouns.

This presentation would be useful for supporting students who overuse pronouns, or for a reminder of why it is a good idea to proofread your work.
