CoRT offers a wide range of thinking tools. We can use these tools to teach grammar in the class. For example:

• PMI (Plus, Minus, Interesting): Explore the advantages and disadvantages of using commas in a specific context, and consider any interesting exceptions or stylistic choices.

• CAF (Consider All Factors): When teaching subject-verb agreement, encourage students to consider factors like singular vs. plural nouns, intervening phrases, and collective nouns to ensure correct agreement.

• APC (Alternatives, Possibilities, Choices): After learning about different verb tenses, have students rewrite a short paragraph using various tenses and discuss how the meaning and tone change. 

• OPV (Other People's Views): When teaching punctuation, discuss how proper punctuation affects readability and consider how a reader might interpret a sentence with missing commas.

By infusing CoRT 3 thinking tools into the grammar lessons, we can transform rote memorization into an engaging exploration of language structure. This fosters critical thinking, creativity, and a deeper understanding of how grammar functions in communication among the students.
