Did I mention how Composition class was more of an English class? The four teens need help with a number of English topics. Each class is centered on writing; however there are several ancillary activities to support good writing, such as editing or grammar. We’re doing some editing and grammar lessons along with exercises such as Descriptive Sentences. I’m starting the grammar next week with Subjects, Predicates, and Objects and Diagramming Simple Sentences. Diagramming sentences is a lost art. It helps analyze sentences. Each week Composition will be working through tons of exercises. Class runs 90 minutes. I need several different exercises to keep kids on task anyway. If you want a textbook to teach grammar, consider Easy Grammar. These books are available used. You may want to start with Easy Grammar Plus.
