This course is Part 1 of a three-part course. Each section will run for ten weeks to complete all thirty lessons in the curriculum. Using the short story "The Nose Tree", learners will examine one sentence a day and identify parts of speech by labeling using the IEW method. In addition, simple capitalization and punctuation rules will be introduced and practiced. When learners attend class live, we will review homework and then I will introduce the new concepts they will have to practice...
