"I like this class because it makes me happy to find the parts of speech. This class has made language arts classes easier." - Isaac age 10 In this class we will enjoy short passages of literature as we work to annotate the 8 parts of speech. We will discover the universal truth that there are no absolutes in grammar. In a gentle, Charlotte Mason manner, we will use sentences from classic books to find the parts of speech. I will spend some time in each video discussing the book and the context of the passage to the book as a whole. Each lesson will review a part of speech. With a mixture of videos, posts and a list of helpful questions we will dig deep into each passage to find the highlighted part of speech. For those students who wish to "level up" there is optional in class extensions where they can practice annotating all the parts of speech. There are several "Going Solo" lessons where learners can practice their skills on their own. The "Helpful Handouts" printout will be uploaded in the first lesson. There will be a literature passage to print out in each lesson. And...as an added bonus, I will post some "extras". Questions to encourage discussion about books students are reading and have read. I really hope to share a love of literature with each and every student! Books for Semester 2 include: Robinson Crusoe Swiss Family Robinson Swallows and Amazons urtle in Paradise A Tale of Two Cities The Invention of Hugo Cabret The Three Musketeers The Family Under the Bridge The Five Children and It Who Gets The Drumstick? Cheaper By The Dozen The Penderwicks 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea Journey To The Center Of The Earth The Giver City of Ember
