Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 5
Every word you use belongs to one of 8 word-groups or parts of speech.

Wait! Did you hear that? Just think about it for a second. You use thousands of words, and they can all be separated into just eight groups!

In this ongoing class, you'll learn about all 8 word groups, and you'll begin the transformation into a grammar guru. Everything else that has to do with grammar builds on this information, so be like a sponge and soak it all in!  All children can master basic grammar if presented in an easy-to-grasp order and if plenty of practice is provided.  The focus in this class is mastery of the basics and building a strong foundation through repetition and hands on learning in Minecraft.

 The goal is to make learning memorable, engaging, and motivating.  The game aspect of this learning solution also encourages important skills for successful learning outcomes, such as curiosity, creativity, perseverance, problem-solving, and, when used as part of a class-based lesson, collaboration.

  Each class will start with a themed short mini-lesson, then students will be given time to build in Minecraft creative mode the theme of the week, completing mini English challenges along the way.  The last 5 minutes of class will be for sharing builds or short sentences highlighting the mini-lesson and getting feedback from the teacher. Let the adventures begin!  

 8 Parts of Speech;
Week 1 - Noun
Week 2 - Verb
Week 3 - Adjective
Week 4 - Adverb
Week 5 - Pronoun
Week 6 - Preposition
Week 7 - Conjunction
Week 8 - Interjection
Week 9 - Noun
The cycle will repeat.

Regarding Minecraft:
Each student will need a Minecraft account. Class participants will do all Minecraft building on their own personal device. Any version of Minecraft (PC/Mac computer, Minecraft for Windows10, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, or other gaming consoles, Minecraft PE for iPad, Android tablets, etc.) will work for this course. The purchase of Minecraft must be made separately and prior to the start of class. Students with a few weeks of Minecraft experience through play or otherwise will have the skills needed to complete the builds in Minecraft. Minecraft is a building tool for this course (think of it as digital building blocks). The lessons and information in this course are not official Minecraft products and are not associated with Mojang.

What is NOT included:
This course will not include a group server or realm. Students can work together if their devices are compatible but partner/group projects are not required. Most learners will build in Minecraft on their own.

NOTE - We will be building in the creative mode and you will need to have a way to play Minecraft as well as use the Zoom program.  (Teachers world is Bedrock Edition only; not compatible with Java Edition) 

Each class will be different and independent so you can join one class or come as often as you like! I look forward to seeing your creativity at work.

*The class picture was created by the teacher to help with the mini-lessons.

Learning Goals

Students will improve their understanding of the eight parts of speech in the English language: noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, conjunction, and interjection. 
Students will use their creativity to think outside of the box and complete the challenges.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Lisa and I am so excited to be teaching for Outschool!  As a mother to 5 children, ages 11 to 23,  have modeled and taught life skills such as sewing, cooking, arts/ crafts, animal husbandry, and balancing a budget to name a few. For the past 10 years, I have taught in my local homeschooling co-ops, Sunday school classes, and various other community activities. I believe when you actively engage children through hands-on learning, learning becomes effortless!

I am also a homeschooling mom.  I have educated my children from kindergarten up to grade 8. I have taught kindergarten which I have specialized in teaching phonics and letter recognition. As well as, science, word building, social studies, bible, and English literature. 

Currently, I have been teaching ESL online for the last 3 years, to children in China ages 4 to 13 years.  This experience has really helped me to be a more precise teacher.  It is a great joy to see smiling faces as they learn and discover.
