Course Description:
This Grammar Course will expose students to explanations of grammar and vocabulary, with lessons that keep them motivated and excited to learn. They will practice the grammar skills that are challenging, polish skills they are familiar with, and stretch themselves to explore skills they have not yet attempted.
Homework will be assigned at the end of each class. It is to be completed by the date provided. Like the course, the homework is meant to be motivating, challenging and engaging.
With clear, strong grammar skills, students have the ability to communicate effectively with written and spoken language. Basic grammar skills also help students organize their ideas and plan ahead for written projects and oral presentations.
This course is aligned with the Common Core State Standards. Standards can be found next to each corresponding lesson.
