Meaningless Schoolboard Quote... If you are outside without an umbrella or coat and it is raining, you are probably wet.

English for the older girls
So these are all things that my girls have worked on. Plus Bret and I have been talking about classifying. I combined two in one. I had a list of words on one paper and asked them to classify each word in the right catagory. They have a notebook of definitions already so if they were to say I don't know what pronoun is, I would tell them to look it up in their notebook. They have the meaning of pronoun in their own words with applicable examples.
Don't like worksheets? Make it into a game. Write each catagory down on a big poster size paper. Then have every word on the list of words on an 8-1/2 x 11 sheet of paper and make it a human sized game.
Or take the premade game board as in the last post and make cards such as this.
"Which word is a contraction?
people try she can't"
