- Synopsis
-
Our main goal, of course, is to improve our communication skills -- to understand what we hear or read and to express ourselves clearly in speaking and writing. However, to attain these skills, we need the building blocks of grammar, mechanics, and usage. For these reasons we have begun each unit with a composition lesson in which pupils are exercised in listening, reading, evaluation, taking notes, organizing, building vocabulary, explaining, writing, editing, and rewriting.
Between the composition assignments, pupils are drilled on how to handle the building blocks of grammar (sentence structure, parts of speech, etc.), mechanics (punctuation and capitalization), and usage (word study). Our language series, Climbing to Good English (CGE), is different from most others on the market in that it is programmed for use in multi-grade classrooms. This means that the pupils are expected to help themselves -- do much of the work independently without much teacher help. The older a pupil becomes, the more he is expected to do this.
