Welcome to my class! I'm so excited you decided to enroll. In this course we will have discussions on text exerts, play games (such as MadLibs), do hands-on activates (such as drawing to show understanding), and interactive lessons using YouTube. The topics of this course will cover aspects of sentences: nouns, verbs, and clauses. Mostly this class will focus on how all these come together to make a concise sentence. My teaching style is a tactile-kinesthetic learner. I learn best hands on. In this course, we will be using multiple learning styles (visual, auditory, tactile, and reading. I use these techniques in conjunction with my lesson plans to enhance the learning experience.
