This is a self-paced (flex) class, and there will be no live meetings. This class is listed in 2 parts. Each part stands alone and can be taken in any order. Each week in this self-paced class, Miss Jen will use fun and engaging slides and activities to help students learn grammar skills necessary for reading and writing. Each class will focus on one aspect of grammar to reach mastery by the end of class. Each week will consist of a mini-lesson video with engaging slides (about 15 minutes in length), a few Nearpod activities to practice the grammar skill, and a couple hands-on activities to practice using the skill. Activities may include: editing a paragraph, writing a paragraph, dissecting a sentence, worksheets, and more. Students can receive feedback from the teacher by asking questions, posting homework for feedback, and answering discussion questions. The teacher will interact with learners by replying to comments on posts and giving feedback on worksheets and assignments.
