Great Grammar Adventure

(23)
The lessons and strategies that were shared have proved extremely helpful to teachers who are pursuing an invigorated emphasis on the correct use of mechanics in written language and Standard American English grammar in both oral and written language. Many of the strategies include active physical participation for students. This makes the activities fun and provides an outlet for youthful energy, especially for elementary males, who, according to research, need many opportunities for physical activity in their daily routines.

Teaching Values through short stories

Each of these stories has a specific goal: to teach one or more unique values to listening children. So, kids have fun while they learn important lessons they will never forget about what is truly important in life: honesty, sincerity, tolerance, generosity... … I hope that all the time, effort and enthusiasm put to create these materials result in a little aid for those educating and training children. All stories are written by José Sacristán.

Writer's Toolkit

If you’re writing about walking through the forest for a picnic, don’t start with making the sandwiches... This is a collection of writing strategies so that children become Level 5 writers. It starts with basic KS1 strategies from building sentences pictorially then Initial letter followed by ‘magic line’, to putting together complete words in order. Then, the children complete sentence grids with wh- questions as prompts ( eg When? who? where? what? ) The strategies become more complex and whole as the children become more mature and proficient at using their writing skills. There are ideas and activities to teach different sentence openers, sentence structure, variation of verb tense and verb forms, variation in length, structure and subject, punctuation effects, how to create a character, a setting, how to develop a plot, and more.
