Fix-It Grammar - Book 3: Robin Hood
Students learn grammar skills by finding and correcting errors in daily passages that cumulatively tell a story. The 5th graders will complete Book 3: Robin Hood. While completing the story, students will apply knowledge skills in context, which will help transfer grammar skills into their own writing. The following grammar skills taught with Robin Hood: indenting, 名词, homophones, ends marks, articles, quotations, pro名词, who-which clauses, action verbs, identifying strong verbs, apostrophes to show ownership, helping verbs, contractions, adjectives, capitals, adverbs, prepositions, coordinating conjunctions, clauses, and comparative adjectives.
意为: The fifth graders will begin to learn and use writing strategies/methods established by the Institute for Excellence in Writing. The students will complete the following units in 5th grade: 1- Note making and Outlines, 2-Summarizing from Notes, 3- Summarizing Narrative Stories, 4-Summarizing a Reference, 5-Writing from Pictures, 6-Library Research Papers, 7-Creative Writing, 8-Essay Writing, and 9-Formal Critiques.
