In this class, students will study the parts of speech through traditional lecture-style teaching. We will cover a specific part of speech, followed by activities where students will identify, match, and sort examples, and then generate their own sentences. This hands-on approach ensures students practice extensively. 

Please bring a pencil and a journal for writing exercises. 

We will do a lot of writing and sprinkle in some spelling work!

Activities
• Quick Writes: Timed exercises that encourage rapid recall and application of the parts of speech in writing.
• Spelling Practice: Activities designed to reinforce spelling rules and improve accuracy in written work.
• Sharing Sessions: Opportunities for students to share their writing, ideas, and insights with peers, fostering collaboration and feedback.
• Discussion Rounds: Opportunities for students to discuss challenging aspects of writing and share tips or tricks they've found helpful.

The schedule is flexible as some lessons may require more or less time than anticipated.
The class will only proceed if it meets the minimum number of learners required.
