GRAMMAR



GRAMMAR

This will help our students prepare for writing test!!
Grammar Videos
Teaching Grammar in Middle School

I designed these presentations for students taking the
now defunct writing section of the Florida College Basic Skills Exit Test
—although I imagine that anyone preparing for a sentence-level test
will benefit. The presentations adhere [almost always] to the item
specifications for the FCBSET. They are short lessons [20 minutes or so]
that introduce the skills but do not attempt to cover every scenario
in a comprehensive or exhaustive way.
To view these presentations, you need a version of PowerPoint
or this free viewer from Microsoft.
