UAA PACE, 500-Level Upper Division Course

Graded

COURSE OVERVIEW

Grammar instruction has evolved beyond the traditional diagramming sentences and worksheets. Research suggests grammar should be infused within context and writing skills, making it applicable, enjoyable and engaging for students of all ages. In this course, you'll learn dynamic strategies that focus on parts of speech, mentor sentences, and punctuation. We'll provide you with creative resources, such as memes and music that you can use to improve your students' writing skills while reinforcing grammar instruction. Both teachers and students will have fun while learning, and you'll finish the course prepared to refresh your grammar game for students.
