Rules of the Game


Book Description

Lessons on topics such as sentence fragments or parts of speech begin with several examples, and follow them with directed questions that help students arrive at a grammatical principle or rule. Following the questions and a brief discussion, each lesson has a definition, set in a box for emphasis. Lessons also contain boxed hints that aid students in understanding and retaining points of grammar. Exercises are both traditional and innovative, and provide practice as well as increase general knowledge. Students read sentences and pick out various points of grammar, but they also follow sentence patterns, write their own sentences, choose effective modifiers, or combine sentences. In all books, lessons build on each other: the lesson on compound sentences, for example, appears not long after students have learned what constitutes a sentence and right after they have been introduced to the conjunction. Each book also contains a Comprehensive Exercises section that provides review exercises and includes errors for students to correct. Book 3 includes work on dependent clauses, complex and compound-complex sentences, gerunds, participles, and infinitives. Grades 9-10.
