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.
