This course will continue to build on Semester 1's learning of grammar in an in-depth and organized fashion. Students typically have been taught the "Parts of Speech" and lack true understanding of the relationships between grammatical concepts in their own writing. Instead of memorizing the parts of speech, I use the order of grammatical concepts developed by British 19th c. homeschool pioneer Charlotte Mason. Her approach is both logical and creative. Through using 19th c. illustrations, students will demonstrate their growth in writing. They will also be introduced to a modern form of sentence diagramming that has proven to be much easier for students to see relationships between words, parts of sentences, phrases, and entire clauses. 

Each week, students will have 2 lessons available. They will have 3 days to watch the first and complete the work. I will provide feedback via video. They will then have another lesson and repeat the process. A routine organizer will be provided for students to help them stay on track throughout the week. 

Each week will also require a discussion between students through a posed question in Classroom. Students will be required to respond to the question and respond to another learner's response. 

A mystery challenge will be provided at the end of each week. Students will have characters on a gameboard. If they answer the mystery question correctly, they will have a chance to spin the wheel and move forward on the board.
