What will be taught?

This self-paced class focuses on reviewing the eight parts of speech: nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections. Students will learn their definitions, functions, and examples, as well as how to identify and use them in sentences.

What topics will you cover?

Nouns: Identifying and using names for people, places, things, or ideas.

Verbs: Understanding action words and states of being.

Adjectives: Describing nouns and adding detail to sentences.

Adverbs: Modifying verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.

Pronouns: Replacing nouns to avoid repetition.

Prepositions: Showing relationships between words in a sentence.

Conjunctions: Joining words, phrases, or clauses.

Interjections: Expressing emotion and adding emphasis.

How is your class structured?

The class is structured into four key segments:

1. Introduction: An engaging video welcomes learners and outlines the objectives for the class.

2. Quick Review : Clear explanations of each part of speech, with examples provided in video or slide format.

3. Interactive Practice: Hands-on activities such as matching games, sentence identification exercises, and a quick quiz with instant feedback.

4. Wrap-Up: A recap of what was learned, an optional challenge to create a labeled sentence, and encouragement to continue practicing.

How will you teach?

This self-paced class uses a combination of video instruction, engaging slides, and interactive digital activities. Each segment is designed to be concise, clear, and engaging, with a focus on keeping learners actively involved in their own learning.

What's your teaching style?

My teaching style is friendly, approachable, and focused on building confidence. I believe in making learning fun and accessible through interactive examples and real-world connections. I emphasize clarity and encourage learners to take ownership of their grammar skills.

How much will learners get to interact with you?

Since this is a self-paced class, learners will not interact directly with me during the lesson. However, they will have access to pre-recorded videos, detailed instructions, and activities designed to feel engaging and personal. I am available for follow-up questions or support through the platform if needed.

This class provides a supportive and engaging environment for students to refresh and strengthen their understanding of grammar fundamentals, setting them up for success in writing and communication.

Learning Goals

Identify the Parts of Speech: Students will learn to recognize and name the eight parts of speech (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections).

Understand Functions: Students will understand the role each part of speech plays in constructing clear and grammatically correct sentences.
