LANGUAGE ARTS PLANS // Middle School Grammar, Writing, Vocabulary, Speech, and More

[@bdeffendall]

Sounds like you have a great plan. Can you share more about how you make anchor charts? I am also interested in how you utilize PowerPoint presentations with your daughter.

We are following your grammar plans. My 5th grader is using Abeka Grammar (selectively)! We did Michael Clay Thompson and Fix it for 4th grade after using Abeka for 2nd & 3rd. For Middle School I am looking into Daily Grams. The only reason we stuck with Abeka this long is because my 5th grader loves diagramming 😊. Thanks for sharing Critical Thinking Company’s diagramming workbook ❤.

Adding more vocabulary for writing is smart ❤.

I'll have to go see those other movies about Write Journey-- sounds intriguing!

Thank you. It is working great for us so far!

I am so happy to hear that I’m not the only one that struggles with being the “bad guy” with grading writing. 😊 Can’t wait to hear how it goes with The Write Journey.

Can’t wait to see how The Write Journey works out for y’all. I have a reluctant writer (5th grader) and we have had to tweak a lot over the last couple of years.

Great plans for the year!

Now...to the implementation phase! :)

Hi! What would you recommend for a middle school student who struggles in grammar? Like all the basics, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, fragments, run-on sentences, etc. We used EIW for my 6th grader and for us it was a fail. So I really need a good grammar program that can teach her those things because I am NOT confident in this area. THANK YOU so much!

[@HomeschoolwithJen]

Abeka provided an amazing foundation for my daughter in these areas. It is A LOT of repetition. Easy Grammar also focuses on many of these aspects, but in a very gentle approach.

Oo!! If she knows not to write everything on a slide, she is going to be so far ahead of many adults 😅😂
