  • Pipes's punctuation and making complex historical claims

      Teaching History article
    Long, unreadable sentences in her students' essays led Rachel Foster to improve her post-16 students' punctuation. Her journey resulted, however, in more than improved punctuation.

Foster created an intervention in which students...
