The purpose of Level 2 Writing/Grammar is to continue students’ understanding of the writing process (varied sentence types – simple, compound, complex, compound-complex—and paragraph organization) begun in Level 1 as well as the elements of a strong paragraph (topic sentence, supporting sentence, supporting details, and conclusion). Students use the vocabulary from their reading classes in writing paragraphs. Furthermore, this course will solidify grammar acquisition and knowledge needed to excel in their other disciplines. Students will be taught to use and apply grammar through reading, writing, and within spoken contexts. Teamwork such as revision circles, group brainstorming, and peer editing help improve writing and grammar skills. Students will further their understanding of grammatical concepts outside of the classroom through the use of Moodle. Quizzes and assignments are designed and available on the site to support the material presented in class. Students will be exposed to new tenses and their use within the language. They will learn how to apply grammar in writing through multiple in-class writing assessments, and how different grammatical structures affect meaning in both written and verbal communication.
