The Composition class is doing some grammar. If you’ve never tried adding some grammar to your curriculum, try Easy Grammar Plus. Easy Grammar Plus is for grades seven and higher. There are versions for every elementary grade. The group in Composition has not had much background in grammar. I’m drawing from Warriner’s and the English textbook. Warriner’s First Course is 7th grade, Second Course 8th grade Third Course 9th grade, and the Complete Course is 12th grade. I’m teaching some diagramming with Diagramming Sentences. Diagramming is great for parts of speech! Grammarly has an introduction to diagramming. We’re struggling with the difference between the predicate adjective and direct object. Here is a bit on that topic. You can find used copies of Warriner’s and the Diagramming Sentences on eBay, Thriftbooks, Amazon, etc. If you haven’t done much grammar, start with the First Course.
