----------This class uses the updated fourth edition of Robin Hood (Level 3)---------- ------This is a full-year, two-semester course------ ------Breaks will be scheduled------ Students will be assigned homework. Students will need access to Nearpod.com. It would be helpful if students could have the annotate feature on their device. Fix It! Grammar: Robin Hood is a fun and engaging way to teach learners English grammar. Students will hunt for grammar errors in sentences, fixing them along the way. Learners will label the parts of each sentence and 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 must have the student book for Fix It! Grammar: Robin Hood. https://iew.com/shop/products/fix-it%E2%84%A2-grammar-level-3-robin-hood-student-book In this class, students will advance their understanding of English grammar by building upon the skills and knowledge gained in levels one and two. Class time will be spent teaching the new vocabulary, concepts, and directions and reading and correcting the first sentence together. If time allows, we will also complete other sentences in the lesson. Students will be expected to complete unfinished sentences. Students are expected to have their books during class. I will use slides and other interactive resources to encourage interaction between the students and myself. Students may also volunteer to read sentences aloud.
