NOTE: In order to have the live version of this class, I need to have 2 enrollments.  If I do not have two, there will be a FLEX version offered that you can transfer to and there will be a live session where I will help anyone who is struggling or just would like extra practice.  If you do not want the Flex option then you will be fully refunded.
I have taught school and tutored for many years.  You are probably familiar with the grammar groans from your child/ren each time you mention doing grammar.  This may be the answer to curing the grammar groans.  I love grammar, and I believe that is because I was taught this method back in 7th grade.  After that, it became very easy to understand and find the patterns that help grammar make sense. 

Once I began teaching students this method, I noticed the students picked it up and understood it very quickly. Parents and students alike have told me through the years how easy grammar was for the student through high school and college.  In this course, students will be taught the six sentence patterns that make learning and identifying parts of speech a breeze.  Students will be keeping an English notebook to write the notes I give to them during every class period. This notebook is key to helping them down the grammar path.  We will also be doing some light diagramming of sentences.  

In the beginning, the students will need to learn their prepositions.  This is key to the success of the rest of the program. The parts of speech that we will cover in this course include: nouns, verbs (different types of verbs), direct objects, indirect objects, predicate nominatives, predicate adjectives, articles, subjects, predicates, adjectives, adverbs, and prepositions (with prepositional phrases.) 

Schedule of Classes:

Class 1 - Prepositions (I offer a separate exciting class on prepositions called "Grammar Treasure Hunt! Penguins & Prepositions in Antarctica (Virtual Field Trip"). This class will teach the importance of prepositions, recognizing prepositional phrases, and begin work on memorizing the prepositions which are the first major tricks to making grammar easy.  Several assignments will be given.

Class 2 - N-V sentence pattern will be explained.  Students will use their prior knowledge of prepositional phrases to help in finding the sentence pattern in sentences.  They will be writing in their English notebooks and take a quiz.  Homework assignments will be given. 

Class 3 - N-V-N2 sentence pattern will be explained.  Identifying direct objects will become very simple after this class.  Students will write notes, take a quiz, go over homework, and interact with each other as we make English grammar fun.  Homework assignments will be given. 

Class 4 - N-V-N3-N2 sentence pattern will be explained.  In this class, students will learn about indirect objects. Students will write notes, take a quiz, go over homework, and interact with each other as we make English grammar fun.  Homework assignments will be given. 

Class 5 - N-LV-N1 sentence pattern will be explained.  In this class, students will learn about predicate nominatives. Students will write notes, take a quiz, go over homework, and interact with each other as we make English grammar fun.  Homework assignments will be given. 

Class 6 - N-LV- PA sentence pattern will be explained.  In this class, students will learn about predicate adjectives. Students will write notes, take a quiz, go over homework, and interact with each other as we make English grammar fun.  Homework assignments will be given. 

Class 7- N-Be-Adv sentence pattern will be explained.  In this class, students will learn about be verbs and adverb phrases.  They will learn how to tell the difference between a prepositional phrase and an adverb phrase. Students will write notes, take a quiz, go over homework, and interact with each other as we make English grammar fun.  Homework assignments will be given. 

Class 8 - Final Class - I will take this time to go over the homework from the week before and answer questions.  I will review it with them and give them sentences to label.
