Grammar Jammers: Cómo dominar la estructura del idioma inglés

Do you want to help your learner understand the rules of grammar to improve their reading and writing? I am here to help! 

Welcome to Grammar Jammers! This online class is designed for learners who are ready to grow as writers and learn all the rules that makes English such a strange language. At the beginning of each class, learners will be introduced to the grammar rule or concept that we are studying. Learners can brainstorm words that fit that category. They will have the opportunity to discuss the rule with me and other learners. Then, we will have some guided practice. Learners need a simple notebook for writing and interactive notebook activities. After that, we will reinforce the skill through a song or chant.  Next, we will practice using the rule in a real world situation. Learners will then identify the grammar rule in sentences.  Finally, learners will practice the grammar concept independently. This allows me to assess their progress.  Learners will have access to a Toothy or Blooket game to practice after class to reinforce the grammar rule learned in class! Bonus activities are also included for additional independent practice! 

By the end of this class, learners will understand the key rules of English grammar and how they are applied in speaking, reading, and writing and write grammatically correct sentences with proper punctuation and capitalization. They will also have a strong foundation for advanced language skills, enabling them to communicate effectively and confidently.
