Class Experience

**Important Note: This class begins in September 2024 and ends in April 2025.**

This is a full-year, two-semester course. Breaks will be scheduled.

IEW Fix It! Grammar Town Mouse and Country Mouse is level two and pairs with Structure and Style for Students 2A (SSS 2A). This course also pairs well with IEW's theme-based writing courses: Frontiers in Writing and Wonders of Science.

#IEW Fix-It! Grammar: Town Mouse and Country Mouse is a fun and engaging way to teach learners English grammar. Students go sentence by sentence in an ongoing story and hunt for grammar errors, fixing them along the way. Learners will rewrite the sentences correctly. Students will stay engaged in the process because the story is ongoing, and who doesn't want to find out how the story ends?

Students will continue to define parts of speech, practice capitalization and end marks, practice identifying sentence openers and homophones, practice identifying adverb clauses, comma rules, and more! 

Students will need the student book for Fix It! Grammar: Town Mouse and Country Mouse

Students will need a dictionary (or a way to define assigned terms). 

Students must have access to Nearpod.com.

It would be helpful if students could annotate on their screens.

Class time will be spent teaching the new vocabulary, concepts, and directions and reading and correcting as many sentences as possible. Unfinished sentences will be assigned as homework. I will use slides and other resources to encourage interaction between the students and myself. Students may also volunteer to read sentences aloud.

Students will need their workbooks during class to identify and label the parts of the sentence as they go. Each week, the previous material is reviewed while new materials are presented.
