Module II. Grammar & Descriptive Language
Does grammar have to be boring? NO!
Grammar is a wonderful tool. Its sole purpose is to organize all the brilliant thoughts that go on inside our incredibly active minds, and make them coherent. Grammar is a friend. Without it, we would not be able to communicate clearly and effectively. Grammar brings us clarity. Learning the rules of grammar will help you in both your thinking and writing.
In this module, students learn the basics of grammar including:
- A fun strategy that breaks the habit of beginning sentences with And, So, But, and Then
- Fun ways to use adjectives as a springboard into creating stories and adding descriptive details
- How to identify subject and predicate and create simple sentences
- How to use prepositions and vary sentence structure
- How to create compound sentences
- How to create complex sentences using transition words and subordinating conjunctions
- How to identify and correctly use nouns and verbs, with answer sheets included
The diverse strategies in this module include brainstorming, inquiry and asking questions, collaborative writing, critical analysis, and other methodologies that are evidence-based and proven to raise students’ scores in state standardized testing. See Evidence-Based Research HERE.
It is recommended that Module I: Wake Up Your Mind! Building Paragraphs be purchased first as it contains the critical and creative thinking skills that are the foundation of the Incite to Write program and the foundation of all good writing.
