Description

Class Experience

This 30 minute one time class based on an ongoing class.  

Why learn grammar?

Knowing the grammar of our language helps us to become better speakers.
Knowing grammar helps us to become proficient writers.  
Understanding grammar helps us to comprehend more accurately what has been read.  (Come eat Grandma. / Come eat, Grandma.)
Studying grammar is an exercise in problem solving.

One of the best ways to learn is to study the best examples in literature.

Together our class will read  a...

There is no homework for this class, but students are encourage to put their skills to use with passages from books they are reading in school.

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:Google Docs
Youtube

30 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

The passage for this class from the timeless classic "Anne of Avonlea" has been chosen with care (and humor!).  I have typed the passage on a Google Document that students may print out. 
If time allows in class I will show a video clip that corresponds to the passage.  I have previewed this clip for student appropriateness.   
I will attach links for the Google Documents for parents to print. Here is  video clip if parents wish to preview it.     https://youtu.be/URgferMo-24

I will share a link to a Google document to be printed out prior to class. If students do not have printing capabilities they may annotate the on a shared screen.
