***THIS CLASS HAS NO LIVE MEETINGS. ALL MATERIAL WILL BE PRESENTED ASYNCHRONOUSLY.** Mastering fundamental grammar skills doesn't have to be intimidating. After years of studying and teaching English Language Arts, I have developed a specialized curriculum to help older students acquire the foundational skills they need to become good writers. In this course, we will work to make grammar fun by incorporating custom-made online games, interactive note-taking, and independent practice into our lessons. I have written a workbook for this course that is specifically tailored for online high school learners. The lessons are somewhat "easy" in the beginning: we will review and expound upon topics such as nouns, verbs, and basic sentence structure. As the curriculum progresses, the courses will become more complex and advanced, but don't worry! We're in this together! The best way to learn grammar is to practice, practice, practice. Materials will be presented in the form of videos, digital notes, and interactive practice exercises. Students will complete practice exercises using the Boom Cards website, which will allow them to receive immediate feedback and multiple opportunities for practicing towards mastery. Students can reach out to me personally at any time by messaging me here on Outschool, and I will be sure to respond within 48 hours. I will also check in with you from time-to-time to ensure you are feeling confident with the curriculum and exercises. This class is a semester-long course. Students will receive 14 lessons. Every class is different, but most classes will generally contain: -A class instructional video -Interactive digital notes and practice exercises -A comprehension quiz- Students will receive immediate feedback on their quizzes

Verbs
Did you know that about 90% of students cannot accurately identify the verbs in a sentence? In this lesson, we will review one of the key components to sentence-building. Lesson 2:
Nouns
People, places, and things, oh my! Proper and common, concrete and abstract, singular and plural: Let's discuss nouns! Lesson 3:
Adjectives
One of the best ways to create rich, detailed writing is to become a master of adjectives. In this lesson, we'll learn how to create vivid, grammatically correct descriptions. Lesson 4:
Adverbs
You might know that adverbs describe verbs, but did you know that they also describe two OTHER parts of speech? Learn how to use the unsung heroes of description: adverbs! Other Details
Parental Guidance
This class uses a website called Boom Learning. Students do not need to create an account to use this site. They will be able to make a username and password, but no other information such as email addresses, real names, etc. will be required. Your student's password will remain private. I will have the ability to reset the password if your student forgets it, but I will never be able to see the password your student has inputted.
Supply List
Each week, you will receive access to an instructional video and a digital, interactive copy of your notes and practice exercises.This class is designed to be done digitally; however, if you prefer, you may print out the lessons and complete them on a hard copy.
