Beginner Level
------This class uses the updated fourth edition of The Nose Tree------ This course meets three times weekly for eight weeks to complete the book. Intensive courses are ideal for older students or students who enjoy working at a quicker pace. Third grade is the earliest recommended start time. Students will have homework and are expected to complete many review lessons independently. IEW recommends that all students begin with The Nose Tree, the first level in a series of books that build upon one another. Fix-It! Grammar: The Nose Tree is a fun and engaging way to teach learners English grammar. Students go sentence by sentence in an ongoing story to label, identify, and hunt for grammar errors, fixing them along the way. Learners will rewrite the sentences correctly. Students will stay engaged in the process because the story is ongoing, and who doesn't want to find out how the story ends? Students will need the student book for Fix It! Grammar: The Nose Tree. https://iew.com/shop/products/fix-it%E2%84%A2-grammar-level-1-nose-tree-student-book Students will need a dictionary (or a way to define assigned terms). Students must have access to Nearpod.com. It would be helpful if students could annotate on their screens. Class time will be spent teaching the new vocabulary, concepts, and directions, as well as reading and correcting as many sentences as possible. Unfinished sentences will be assigned as homework. I will use slides and other resources to encourage interaction between the students and me. Students may also volunteer to read sentences aloud. Students will need their workbooks during class to identify and label the parts of the sentence as they go. Each week, the previous material is reviewed while new materials are presented. This class will cover the following topics: -Nouns, capitalization, indentation -Articles -Pronouns (relating to English grammar) -Who/Which Clauses -Homophones -Adjectives, Quality Adjectives -Prepositions -Verbs and Subjects -Linking Verbs -Helping Verbs -Homophones, End Marks with Quotations -Coordinating Conjunctions -Adverbs Students do not need any prior knowledge of English grammar before taking this class.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their understanding of the basic parts of speech, proper punctuation, the indentation of paragraphs, and basic capitalization rules. Students will learn new vocabulary.
