Why Learn Grammar?

Grammar Defined is "the study of the way sentences are constructed in a language."

Sometimes when we hear the word “grammar" we roll our eyes and think it is too hard and give up before giving it a chance.

We will study grammar using a variety of techniques – interactive notebooks, task cards, class discussion, Kahoot, Quizlet, and more.

My goal is for grammar to improve student writing and speaking. I want our students to understand the language they are using and internalize new words to be used in their daily vernacular.  

Students will see grammar in action – through the literature they read and the words that they speak, and maybe even move beyond texting abbreviations...well maybe...
