Montessori Grammar for Minecraft Fans - Learn the Parts of Speech
Class experience
US Grade Kindergarten - 4
In this 6-week self-paced class, we will be learning all about the 9 main parts of speech using the Montessori approach for grammar, with a Minecraft theme, supported by a qualified Montessori elementary teacher. This approach to grammar is fun and hands on, and includes learning and using symbols to represent each part of speech, so that they are easier to learn and identify. We will also learn the stories behind each of the symbols which gives the learner a richer understanding of the...
6 lessons//6 Weeks
Week 1Lesson 1LESSON 1: NounsIn this first lesson, we will learn an engaging story about the history of the noun, and why we use a black pyramid (triangle), like the pyramids of Egypt, to represent it. We will look at identifying many different objects (nouns) in Minecraft.Week 2Lesson 2LESSON 2: Noun FamilyWe will meet the other members of the Noun Family in this lesson - Articles and Adjectives, and we will have another story about why the articles and adjectives come together with the noun to create a family of words (a phrase).Week 3Lesson 3LESSON 3: VerbsIn this lesson, we will learn all about the words that give energy and movement to the Noun Family, just like the Sun is the source of our energy. We will learn that adding verbs to a phrase transforms it into a sentence, and can be a sentence all on their own. We will briefly touch on verb tenses.Week 4Lesson 4LESSON 4: AdverbsIn Lesson 4, we learn that the words that describe verbs are called adverbs. At the end of this class, as in every class, students can practice identifying each part of speech in a sentence, and they will also learn different patterns of symbols (and parts of speech) to see how powerful and fun using these words can be.Week 5Lesson 5LESSON 5: Prepositions & PronounsIn Lesson 5 we will learn how to use words to describe where something is in space, place and time. We learn that where we put the preposition is important, and that it bridges the noun to other words in the sentence, which is why we use a green crescent shape to indicate prepositions. We also cover pronouns, and how they are cousins of the Noun family, so they are the same shape but a little different.Week 6Lesson 6LESSON 6: Conjunctions & InterjectionsIn our final lesson, we will discover that conjunctions link phrases and clauses together and that a link that is pink is the symbol we use to identify them. We will also learn that to express big emotions, we can use a word called an interjection (I find this is a favourite for children!), and the Montessori grammar symbol for that.
Students will learn about all 9 parts of speech. They will be able to identify them in a sentence and use them to create better sentences of their own.
