A Deep Dive into Participles - Advanced Grammar

This advanced grammar class will explore the nuances of participles and participial phrases. In the 23-minute video, I talk learners through a Canva presentation I created that uses writing prompts, examples, and visual aids to help learners understand. Learners can pause the video to write and choose answers, and then I discuss possible answers.  Therefore, learners are assessed multiple times throughout the video. The entire lesson, including pauses for thinking and writing, will take about 45 minutes.

The course agenda is as follows:

1.	Warm-Up
2.	Objectives
3.	Warm-Up Review
4.	Differentiating Between Phrases
5.	Punctuating
6.	Enriching Sentences – Writing Exercise
7.	Example Paragraph – Writing Review
8.	Conclusion – Check for Understanding

A writing prompt with sample answer is given at the end of the presentation. Learners who submit their paragraphs to me will receive feedback within 48 hours.
