Description
Designed for those who seriously want to improve their writing, this self-study video course provides an in-depth study into grammar; the foundational element in all composition. Jonathan Rogers, author of The Wilderking Trilogy, obviously loves grammar and recognizes its importance to the writer. His engaging lectures will convince students that there is indeed someone who is enthusiastic about nouns, verbs and all of their “relatives". In fact, his presentation may well fill teens with at least a little of that enthusiasm. Your students writing will be the better for it. The course is 42 lessons (lectures) divided into four modules: The Main Line, Modifiers, Noun Equivalents, and Connections/Transitions. Each lesson has a 10-minute video segment plus written lecture notes and a quiz. This three-disc DVD set includes the 42 video lessons. Lecture notes, quizzes, and answer keys are available as a download from the publisher's website. This would serve as the grammar component of a high school English credit.
