4th Grade Language Arts III: English Quests
Class experience
In this 8-week course, we will quest together to achieve fourth grade level ELA (English Language Arts) skills corresponding to national standards. It will help your student reach the next level of reading, writing, spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Knowing that each student comes from a unique background -- that includes schooling history (and recent policy changes), regional standards, personality, online engagement, individual talents, (among other things) -- I will especially strive...
Students will learn to use a variety of complete sentences: simple, compound, and complex. Students will learn reading comprehension skills. Students will learn to answer reading comprehension questions with complete answers. Students will practice writing strong paragraphs. Students will learn about homophones and homographs. Students will learn the correct usage for words such as: lay/lie, good/well, which/that. Students will learn to use commas, quotation marks, colons, and semi-colons. Students will learn to plan, write, revise and edit a personal narrative writing piece. Students will learn to identify and use similes, metaphors, idioms, adages, and proverbs. Students will learn creative writing. Students will learn to incorporate their skills in real-world applications such as editing texts and completing a writing project.
As the newly published author of the "Emotebook" and a freelance writer for over 20 years, I have relied on language arts skills as the building blocks of a happy career. For three of those years, I also worked full-time as an associate editor, which helped me gain real-world expertise in the nuances of English language arts. I am walking the language arts journey with my three children while homeschooling them, as well as with several other students in various grades. I am also bridging the gap between cultures by teaching English as a second language to hundreds of students online. I look forward to this language arts quest with you!
