Students will enjoy this English course with a camping theme throughout each lesson. Daily lessons will dive deep into language and communication skills. Students will explore how language helps us connect and understand each other, seeing examples of language from God and how people use it every day. The eight grammar chapters review basic sentence structure, so we learn to make sure each one has a subject and a predicate. We learn how to add interest with adjectives, adverbs, and prepositional phrases. Students will also practice combining sentences and double-checking to make sure there are no run-ons. Finally, we look for and correct capitalization, punctuation, and spelling in our sentences.

For the six writing chapters, students create a Sound Poem, Game Instructions Paragraph, Book Review, Persuasive essay, Friendly Letter, and Research Report on a famous person. They will follow a five-step process, learning to plan, draft, revise, proofread, and publish their work in a way that clearly communicates to their audience. They will also read a writing sample, examining the steps taken to create the piece. Then they work through each step of the writing process as they work independently to write his or her own piece.
