Level 5 Frog Prince reinforces information taught in prior books while introducing and discussing advanced grammatical concepts related to verb types, noun functions, and pronoun cases. There is also an emphasis on the grammatical jobs of specific clauses and phrases.

Fix-It! Grammar: The Frog Prince, or Just Deserts, is a fun and engaging way to teach learners how to apply and build upon their existing knowledge of English grammar.  Students will go sentence by sentence in an ongoing story hunting for grammar errors and fixing them along the way.  Students will also identify and label parts of the sentence. Learners will rewrite the sentences correctly.   

IEW recommends that all students begin with The Nose Tree (Book 1) as it is the first in a series of books that build upon one another.  This course is designed for grammar students who have completed books one through four. This book is recommended for students in the 9th-12th grades.  Younger students who have completed books one through four should contact me for enrollment.

Class time will be spent teaching the new vocabulary, learning the concepts, and correcting the first sentence together. Students will complete the remaining sentences, and we will check them together in the following class.  
***Students will need their workbooks during class 
***Each week, previous material is reviewed as new concepts are presented.
*** The students and I will complete the first sentence for each new lesson.  
***Students will be expected to complete the remaining sentences as homework
***Students will check their work during the following class to ensure they have labeled their sentences correctly.
