Students will: Expand their understanding of the way English is formed Learn the culture and history behind many expressions Be challenged to use new words and phrases in context Practice skills with words like concise writing and applying meaning logic to make analogies (example: entomology is to insects as astronomy is to stars)
I am certified secondary English teacher and have taught middle and high school English for two decades, often including this book in my yearly curriculum.
Each student will need a new copy of the workbook The Joy of Vocabulary by Norman Levine. For all students in the class, I will provide a link to purchase the correct edition.
