Beatrix Potter, Lucy Maud Montgomery, Robert Frost, Charles Dickens: all writers who capture our imaginations through rich characters and mesmerizing language. Could part of that brilliance be due to their 19th century grammar instruction?! This class is quarter 2 of the four- part 19th Century Grammar Instruction Series. This course is inspired by the 19th century British homeschooling matriarch Charlotte Mason. Mason was a classical educator who believed students should be given a "feast" of ideas and allowed to "feed on the good, the excellent, and the great." She felt dry textbooks full of facts were a disservice to the wonder and life of the young child. This approach is best for students who have been reading and have been exposed to written language for at least 2-3 years. It can be used as an introduction to grammar or a change in approach for the many students who struggle to care about grammar. This course allows for students to connect to language versus merely consume grammar. Due to this, students engage with grammar in a new way, seeing it as a tool they can use to communicate their ideas. Students taking this course should have taken my course "19th Century Grammar: Quarter 1" or they make take an entrance exam to ensure they are ready for the course. Each course builds on knowledge learned. Please contact me for entrance exam. Each meeting time, students will be introduced to new material that builds on the prior lesson. They will then exercise their newly gained knowledge in the live class with the use of 19th century illustrations, sharing with each other sentences and writing that apply their understanding.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I will admit- I love grammar. I love looking at language as a dance between words and punctuation, all working together with intent to create something beautiful. Too often, grammar is taught by teachers who dislike or have not found an approach that works for them. Therefore, students respond negatively and carry with them similar attitudes.
I'd like the try to change that. Reviews
