2023 Workshop Talk | 51:55 | K-6
Summary
How do you teach English grammar to young grammarians? How do you excite little learners to wonder at the what and the why of a sentence? This workshop attempts to answer these questions by covering the five foundational elements of teaching English grammar: know the language of a grammar (definitional learning), connect the known to the unknown (categorical learning), know the what and the why of the elements in a sentence (analytical learning), recognize the relationships among the elements (diagramming), appreciate grammar to enjoy the beauty of language (wonder).
