Welcome! Part of excellent writing is remembering how to use words correctly. Therefore, we will begin with a very basic review of parts of speech. Don't worry if you already know all of this, or if you have never seen it. Just have some fun!
Disclaimer: This is a writing fundamentals class designed to teach home educated students to be proficient, independent writers. The first and most important teacher is who? The parent! This course will use lots of technology (because we only meet once a week) and parents must be completely involved. I make every effort to be very familiar with the links I suggest and to ensure that links are proper for children, but parents are not relieved of responsibility to supervise their children while the children use the Internet :-)
Monday: Look at the lesson here. Review it here. Then, take the quiz here. Don't peek at the answers! Give it to your parent to score and together, go over the answers.
Tuesday Review your verbs here and here. If the file doesn't open when you click on it, you may need the power point viewer, available here.
Wednesday Receive your CDs. We'll go over basic grammar, basic grammar songs (it is lots of fun!) and will begin writing from a key word outline!
Thursday Key-word outline (KWO) assignment provided in class
Friday Grammar assignment will be ready to download.
