In this one-day class, we will learn about adjectives and look at different parts of speech. I will teach the following topics, relating to parts of speech: participle, linking verbs, and predicate adjectives. In addition, I will teach the difference between common, proper, and compound adjectives. The class will be structed as a combination between lecture and discussions. We will start the class with stating what adjectives are and I will use visual aids to show the differences between the different types of adjectives. A style I use when teaching is using colors and grouping the same concept in colors. For example, when I give the small lecture (less than half the total class time), I will keep each type of adjective in their own colors. Then, when identify adjectives in sentences, I will use the same corresponding color to label those adjectives. I lean toward the demonstration or coach style in classes because I want the class to have a variety of activities, which I demonstrate knowledge about these topics. During the small lecture portion, I will ask questions and encourage the learners to take notes. When I show examples of good quality sentences, they will help me label the parts of speech. We will also play some fast-paced activities during this class. However, I don't want to give away the details of the most exciting part of the class! The learners will be encouraged to answer discussion questions, take notes, and participate in the fast-paced games.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from University of Central Missouri
I have taught my twins and children in public schools a variety of language arts skills. I have taught in multiple states and am aware of the state standards that schools require in different grades. My expertise and bachelor's degree in education qualifies me to teach language arts skills for grades K-6th. My background with homeschooling my twins, who are now doing 7th grade work, and other homeschool students has allowed me to practice reading comprehension and writing skills on a daily basis. Between my professional experience before having children and being the primary teacher for my children since covid, I am well qualified to teach any language arts skills to elementary and middle school aged children.
