In this course, students will first learn or review the definitions of an adjective and an adverb. ADJECTIVES: They will be given several examples of adjectives and an activity in which to use them by creating their own sentences. The students will then share their sentences with the teacher and fellow learners. They will receive feedback from the teacher and correct errors as needed. ADVERBS: The students will be given a list of several adverbs, grouped into five categories. The adverb activity will entail combining the sentences created in the adjective activity with appropriate adverbs of their choosing. The second round of sharing and feedback will then occur. Lastly, this course will be wrapped up with an activity in which the learners will read a group of sentences and determine if the underlined word is an adjective or adverb. During this activity, they will also be expected to identify which word or words are being modified in each sentence.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their understanding of how adjectives and adverbs are distinguished and how to use them properly in writing.

This class is being offered as an important segment in building a solid foundation of English grammar. Grammar has always been a skill set that I have taken ownership of and genuinely enjoyed. Consequently, implementing these skills has undergirded my ability to become an effective writer and teacher. Therefore, it is my goal to replicate my knowledge base into the minds of my students.Reviews
