Description
Class Experience
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"...
Quarter 2 will cover: 1. The Nominative Case 2. Verbs-Transitive and Intransitive 3. Direct and Indirect Objects 4. Leveling direct and indirect object 5. The Objective Case 6. The Possessive Case 7. "Mystery Sentence Challenge" Game 8. The Preposition 9. The Object of the Preposition 10. Preposition Pictionary
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.
Minimal homework assigned but if students do not finish work in class, they may have 10-20 minutes of completing work.
Handouts will be provided at onset of course. Students will need to have these organized in a binder with file dividers or tabs preferably.
In-class feedback is my preferred method of assessment in comparison to grades; however, if parent prefers, I am more than happy to supply a grade using either the A,B,C,D, F or Standard-based grading of 4,3,2,1 scales. Please request this at onset of the course! Common Core or Standards Alignment is available upon request.
1 hour per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
