Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 2
This is an engaging class that will help learners take basic sentences and build them into creative, descriptive complex sentences.

Each day the class meets will be structured as follows:

The teacher will begin by showing the class a picture on a slideshow, flashcard or interesting object and ask for a simple sentence. The class will write the sentence (the teacher may use the whiteboard for reinforcement).

Next, the teacher will begin to question the class about the card or object about aspects such as color, size, and numbers. The class will add onto the existing sentence and write it again.

Finally, the teacher will ask more questions about things like actions, emotions, and positions to increase the sentence for a third time.  The class will offer suggestions and write the final sentence.

The process will be repeated as time allows.  Some groups will work faster or slower than others, but learners can expect to write a minimum of three sentences per class. 

The teacher will use grammatical vocabulary to help students gain exposure to basic parts of speech (nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc.), punctuation, and sentence structure. Learners will be encouraged to use proper capitalization as well.  The teacher will screen share a picture in most cases. Sometimes, the teacher or the learner will show a flashcard or an object in the video feed. There will never be outside websites, links, or accounts needed by the learners.

Topics will be determined randomly by flashcards, objects, and pictures the learners or the teacher bring to class. Each session will begin over with new flashcards, objects, and/or pictures and be independent of the sessions before or after.

As an ongoing class, each class will focus on different topics and sentences to be a completely new learning experience.  Learners will not need to assist prior classes to participate and can enroll and withdraw as needed. 

For English as a Second Language Learners (ESL): 
-Great for early writers prior to processing from sentences to paragraphs
-Great for those who prepare for CEFR A2 Exam (KET) & A1 early writers

Learning Goals

Learners will:
      begin to identify parts of speech
      use proper capitalization and punctuation
      discuss with peers
      practice the motor skill of writing
     learn to build complex and descriptive sentences
