What's included

1 live meeting
55 mins in-class hours per week
Homework
1 hour per week. Since this is an ongoing class, the "homework" will be done in class together or sometimes it might be in the form of a game (Gimkit) played each week which will match the new lesson taught. Each week will be a new experience no matter how long the learner has been in the class.
Assessment
I can easily assess the level of learning through the classwork we will do together or during the gameplay. Learners are encouraged to help one another and to ask questions. (questions can be submitted to the teacher privately though the Zoom message system in real time.)

Class Experience

US Grade 8 - 11
Advanced Level
Where it says all work done in class means the class is self-contained and no prior knowledge is needed. 

week 1: Phrases: prepositional, infinitive, and appositive phrases will be studied. Work will be done together in class. 
week 2: Phrases: Participial phrases will be studied. Work will be completed in class. 
week 3: Indirect and Direct objects will be the focus of this class. Work done in class
week 4: Transitive and Intransitive verbs, Subject and Verb Compliments will be studied. (Predicate nominatives and Predicate Adjectives) Work done in class
week 5: Subjunctive mood, Active and Passive voice. Tools to aid in more effective writing. All work completed in class. 
week 6: The 12 verb tenses. We will learn and practice using the 12 verb tenses. All work done in class. 
week 7: Summarizing, Quoting, and Paraphrasing. (citations and block quotes) All work done in class. 
week 8: Sentence Structure and Punctuation. (Finally learn how a semi-colon is used! Polish up on comma usage) 
week 9: Sentence break downs: by this time, learners should know how to identify every part of the sentence and differentiate between phrases and clauses. (new students will still be able to learn in this class. No prior classes needed) 
week 10: Editing and Revising (The writing process from beginning to end) How to self-edit.
week 11: Advanced Vocabulary (Latin and Greek roots one may need to know for standardized exams) 
weeks repeat as needed since class is ongoing.

Learning Goals

The goal of the ongoing model is to constantly and consistently reinforce grammar skills to the point where the learner is comfortable with any encounter where grammar and punctuation plays an important role such as essay writing, creative writing, internet writing, academic writing, and self editing.

The class is self contained. Any materials needed for class will be provided by the instructor the night before class is scheduled. Sometimes we may play a Gimkit game that will require the Gimkit webpage but nothing will be downloaded or added to any learner's computer for this course.
