We call this class The ‘Fun’ in Fundamental English! In this ongoing class, students will meet twice a week for a thorough language arts curriculum. This class covers the foundation of the English language and serves up a rudimentary understanding of tenses, punctuation, and other dos and don’ts on a platter of fun worksheets and games. This class focuses on increasing their vocabulary libraries and analytical skills within literature. This is where students will learn to perfect all aspects of information output and input. Suitable for children in grade 6, every week we will be covering the following categories: Literature, Foundational Skills, Reading, Grammar and Writing so that students can easily grasp and retain core principles. This class is sure to keep young learners coming back for more. There will be some fun worksheets, discussion, games and lots of visual prompts throughout this interactive class to engage learners! **please read our Absence Policy before enrollment: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iIOnGbdPegwQ7FY_MViN2YmfzSxI0249M1pjprTlcD8/edit?usp=sharing** Topics as follow: Week of Aug 22 LITERATURE The Story of The First Pearls FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS Circling Roots LANGUAGE/ GRAMMAR Noun Word Bank WRITING Shaping America with Social Media Week of Aug 29 READING Reading:How Camel Got His Hump LANGUAGE/ GRAMMAR Slight Adjustment WRITING Taking a Side:Pro & Con ** New term starts in Sept 2022** Week of Sep 5 READING Using Evidence in Text: Making Inferences LANGUAGE/GRAMMAR Expeditions of Captain Cook Week of Sep 12 LITERATURE Summarizing a story: The Bermuda Triangle FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS Sentence Completion: vocabulary Week of Sep 19 FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS Compare and Contrast Literature: Wizards WRITING How to Write a Concluding statement Week of Sep 26 LITERATURE Making inferences: Francine and Jason LANGUAGE/GRAMMAR Vague Pronouns Week of Oct 3 FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS language variation - synonym and definition WRITING Create a story - Hiking across the USA Week of Oct 10 LITERATURE Explaining Literary Elements LANGUAGE/GRAMMAR Vague Pronouns - Correction Week of Oct 17 FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS Foreign Words we use everyday in English LANGUAGE/GRAMMAR Sentence Completion: Vocabulary Week of Oct 24 READING The Amazon River Dolphin - reading and summary LANGUAGE/GRAMMAR Analogies Week of Oct 31 LITERATURE On the Journey - Poetry LANGUAGE/GRAMMAR Practice with analogies Week of Nov 7 LITERATURE Edgar Guest Famous Life Poem FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS Poem Analysis Worksheet: Edgar Guest Week of Nov 14 READING Reading Comprehension: The Lost City of Atlantis LANGUAGE/GRAMMAR Analogies and relationships between words: flying in the right direction Week of Nov 21 FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS a fun spelling game LANGUAGE/GRAMMAR Commonly confusing words Week of Nov 28 FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS Pair and share words LANGUAGE/GRAMMAR Parentheses and emphasis Week of Dec 5 LITERATURE MAking Inferences: School Bus story FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS Key Details Week of Dec 12 READING The Three Expedition of Captain Cook LANGUAGE/ GRAMMAR It's Pizza Party Week of Dec 19 LITERATURE OR READING Literature: Putting In on Film LANGUAGE/ GRAMMAR Circle It Week of Dec 26 LITERATURE Literature: John James Audubon FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS Word Meanings Week of Jan 2 LITERATURE Where are they?

🌟 At Inspire, we have a unique way of teaching languages! Instead of just memorizing vocabulary lists, we make learning fun with games, role-plays, and group discussions. From day one, students gain confidence and fluency.
📚 We focus on teaching language concepts and how to use them, rather than just memorization. Our classes are interactive, encouraging students to participate actively. Our approach combines Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) and Game-Based Learning (GBL), which ensures that students are engaged and eager to learn.
🎓 Most importantly, we believe learning should be enjoyable! We aim to break away from boring education routines and help students become independent learners. Learning, to us, is an exciting journey that lasts a lifetime.
Our lesson material is prepared by certified French teachers and according to DELF guidelines.
