It's Grammar Time!


















The Deal:

Groups of three will develop and write a lesson based on one of the following grammar topics:

1. Parts of Speech/Direct and Indirect Objects
2. Prepositional phrases
3. Appositives
4. Active vs. Passive voice
5. Subject/Verb Agreement
6. Sentence fragments and run-ons
7. Comma rules
8. Common homonym mistakes: There, their, they're,
etc. Be sure to choose at least three cases

This lesson must include the following

* a clearly stated title and objective
* a minimum of 5 slides
* a handout that will be submitted to your teacher (I will make copies for everyone)
Please note: This handout should be thorough, yet user-friendly.
* an activity that allows students to demonstrate understanding
* Duration: 10 minutes
* Presentation: Friday
