Practice nouns, pronouns, verbs, and adjectives, while learning weird and random facts about everything from narwhals to armpits to pickles. These may be your typical grammar skills, but this class is far from normal. 5 Learners or less!

Welcome to Weird Grammar Weekly! This class is all about four parts of speech: nouns, pronouns, verbs, and adjectives. Wait! I know what you're thinking: "I learned this in first grade!" We're going beyond the basics here. Did you know there are NINE different types of nouns alone??? So if you're thinking you're too old for parts of speech, you're not. High schoolers still start the school year with parts of speech. It's true. Grammar isn't the most exciting thing in the world to people,...

As a former middle and high school English teacher in the public school system, I've taught many lessons on grammar, always looking for fun ways to get students to love grammar as much as I do. On Outschool, learners enjoy the small class size, my sense of humor (I think?), and the laid back atmosphere of my classes. And some of them end up staying my weekly classes for years. Literally.

Homework
Frequency: Available upon requestFeedback: Available upon requestDetails: You will get a handout each week with additional practice on whatever concept we learned in class. If you would like feedback on it, please share your work!
Students will be given 4 handouts per lesson. Printing them is completely optional! 1) a worksheet to use during class 2) a worksheet for extra practice during the week 3) a fun graphic to keep track of your time here 4) a collection of the weird facts presented during class
Students learn parts of speech every single year. Chapter one of most, if not all, grammar workbooks start there. Even the high school seniors I taught started the year with the parts of speech. So while these four parts of speech are typically learned in early elementary school, we're expanding on them for this age group. I've used a combination of Grade 7 and Grade 9 grammar workbooks (McDougal Littell, Inc.) to choose what types of nouns, adjectives, etc. to cover.
