文法の冒険 2: 1 学期コース

NOTE: This part 2 of the Grammar Course. 
--------
This will be a fun but engaging course that introduces students to relevant terms and ideas and the structure of grammar. English has a ton of Latin and Greek. Something about its inauspicious beginnings keeps English operating a major inferiority complex. English often prefers inventing words from roots of other languages overusing perfectly good Saxon words. "Submarine craft" should be "underwater boat," but it isn't, so it comes in handy to know some root words. You can make your own words up if you invent something like the telephone, and if you don't invent it, you can at least know what it is.

Roots are the most important things students will learn in the sixth grade. In fact, knowing roots will facilitate not only the command of English but also the acquisition of other languages. Plus, what is cooler than a sixth-grade grammarian knowing the difference between an epidemic and a pandemic or that a "holographic manuscript" is redundant? Sixth graders will relish the fact that they understand robotics a little more with words like "biomimicry" and "exoskeleton," and will finally know why microdermabrasion is important to a healthy epidermis.

How will you teach?  Since this would be a typical school course for grammar - the content will be guided by national curriculum. 


What's your teaching style? My teaching style is malleable. Meaning, I will do a class assessment of students learning style and tailor content to those different , learning styles (i.e.,audio, visual, tactile and etc.). 

How much will learners get to interact with you and each other (mention specifics like lecture, games, slides, video clips, discussion)? This course will include lectures, games, and video clips that are relevant and make the course easy to understand and engaging.
