- 36 - #35: How I Teach…100+ Prepositions by Their Purposes and Within Categories
This episode of 10 Minute Grammar, I am revisiting prepositions in my How I Teach Series. I know you will find it helpful while teaching prepositions to your studens! In this episode, I delve into the concept of a lengthy, thorough, and useful prepositions list for students. Prepositions lists usually consist of a jingle, rhyme, or chant that involves memorizing 20-30 prepositions. When students are taught prepositions lists via this method, they seldom actually know what prepositions are, why they should learn them, what they will do with them once they are learned, and how to write with them. Enter teaching prepositions by their purpose and within categories! Students can learn 100, 120, 150, or more prepositions rather quickly with this approach. Here is the run-down on the method of preposition teaching that you will learn in today’s broadcast (and via any of my preposition products https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Language-Arts-Lady-With-Donna-Reish/Search:prepositions): Prepositions show position (first thing I teach students) There are over 200 total prepositions (including those made of other words and those that are also other parts of speech, like up and before, ) We learn prepositions because they are the first words in the most common phrase found in sentences: the prepositional phrase. When teaching prepositions, teach them through the purpose—using check sentences: The plane flew _____ the clouds, etc. These check sentences are the beginning of teaching prepositional phrases (as opposed to just learning a list of prepositions then later learning what they do) Once students learn a couple dozen prepositions through a check sentence, apply different categories of prepositions to those check sentences: The plane flew ____ the clouds with prepositions that begin with A The plane flew ____ the clouds with prepositions that begin with other vowels The plane flew _____ the clouds with prepositions that begin with B The plane flew _____ the clouds with prepositions that are made of up compound words The plane flew _____ the clouds with prepositions that are multi-word The plane flew _____ the clouds with prepositions that are opposites The plane flew ______ the clouds with prepositions that are synonyms After students have a few dozen or more spatial prepositions memorized, move into time prepositions: The pilot laughed ______ the meal (during, after, before, in the middle of, etc.) It’s all here in this week’s HIT!!! And….you get the full table of contents showing the order I teach, some worksheet pages showing how I lay out the lessons, a freebie at my store with all prepositions listed and some category cards for students to have at their fingertips, and more! My sixty students (online and live) learn 100 prepositions using this method—and yours can too! Of course, just like every lesson in my one-month downloadable books and my one-semester Meaningful Composition books, this one also has the invaluable sample lessons and lists. And for your convenience, How I Teach…. is available as a podcast (follow along in your TN sheets for that week) and a YouTube video (with Power Point containing the same as the TN)! Note: This lesson came from Christmas Preposition Pack, a 100-page downloadable book filled with the types of lessons described in this broadcast—and seventeen assignments for your students!

Fri, 02 Jun 2023 - 34min - 35 - #34: Teaching Prepositions to Elementary Students “Bugs on a Log”
Welcome to back to 10 Minute Grammar... This will be a little bit longer than my usual 10 minute episode, but the information is valuable to teaching elementary students prepositions. In this episode, I am (once again!) excited to teach you how I teach! I’m especially excited because this episode involves teaching elementary students. Yay for the littles! I love teaching how I teach elementary students because I really want to spread the message of hands-on learning, incrementally, slow introduction to difficult concepts, and application of each thing these littles learn. I love to do this for my young students. I dig in right off the bat with some criteria that I have for teaching prepositions to these students: • Fun • Easy to succeed • Repetitive • Self practice • Tricks…always tricks! • Less about purpose than with olders (but still with purpose) Always Teach Purpose Behind Everything You Teach—With Olders, the purposes for prepositions are many and easily understood when they have a good grasp of sentence structure: • Subject is almost never in a prepositional phrase o The girls, along with their brother, are coming to class. o In between lunch and dinner at the school yard, we play for hours. • Prepositional phrase openers o During the last lengthy blackout, we used up all the candles. • Using objective pronouns well o She gave the book to Jon and I. No! She gave the book to me. She gave the book to Jon and me. o We had no idea it would get around to Cami, Kara, and I. No! We had no idea it would get around to me….so use me as object! • Give more details o Focus on this with elementary students o Sentence building Especially with Elementary and Middle Schoolers: Teach with images, mnemonics, rhymes, interactives, and check sentences • Bugs on a Log • Preposition Packets (Plane, Castle, Reindeer) • Check sentence o The plane flew _____ the clouds. o The boy played _______ class. (time) • Repetition o Weekly Think Fast Quizzes Teaching Specific to Elementary Students • Introduce as a part of sentences that give more information • Focus on object too • Interactives at first • Verbal activities • Sentence building It’s all here! AND, I give you some pages from my most elementary preposition product: Bugs on a Log. (Don’t worry…I explain how to make your own interactive/manipulative too!)

Mon, 06 Mar 2023 - 13min - 23 - #23: Teaching Kids How to Write About People (Part III of III)
I love to teach my students how to write about people. In my newest set of “Write for a Month” books, “Black Americans’ Contributions,” I had the opportunity to use many of my frameworks for the many lessons in which students write about people. In part three of three about teaching kids to write about people, I move into more advanced techniques and teach how to differentiate learning even more among multi-level writers. Why starting with three people/three paragraphs is such a great idea even up to high school if needed. How to teach expansion from one paragraph into multiple paragraph using that first paragraph’s content How differentiation can be easily achieved through varying expectations based on individual skill levels: number of and types of quotes expected; number of sources required; certain emphases of a person’s life; and much more. How to move from more “middle school-one or two sources” biography writing to the true test of research writing—merging multiple sources. Much more!

Tue, 21 Feb 2023 - 14min - 21 - 10 Minute Grammar Episode 21: Teaching Kids How to Write About People (Part I of II)
One of my favorite topics to help students write about is people. Writing about people is a great starting point for early writers to use sources, excellent way to give passages of material for kids to write from, and can even challenge upper level high schoolers, depending on the expectations and skills included. I love teaching writing about people for several reasons:◦ It is one of the easiest research-based topic. There’s chronology, abounding information, and simplified ways. ◦ It is often of high interest to even young students. ◦ There are many ways to break down information, organize facts, and lay out content. ◦ It is an excellent topic for expansion. I love teaching 2nd-5th graders people writing with these approaches:◦ Writing Boxes (signature layout for sentence and paragraph writing in many of my “Write-for-a-Month” and “Meaningful Composition” programs)◦ Paragraph House Outline and Writing◦ Five W’s charts, boxes, or lists ◦ Q and A outlines ◦ Sentence-by-Sentence outline over a given passage, especially story-based passages about people)Check out my newest set of “Write for a Month” books called “Black Americans’ Contributions.” Five levels.

Mon, 30 Jan 2023 - 15min - 19 - 10-Minute Grammar 19: Subordinators and Subordinate Clauses, Part II
Welcome to Part II of II of Subordinators! (Part I is Episode 16–find all the details at LALBlog or listen at iTunes.) In this episode, I review my first two tricks for teaching students lists of subordinators: (1) First seven subordinators learned in rhyme: Since, when, because, though As, if, that, although! (2) Subordinate-Check Sentence— 75% of the dozens of subordinators fit into this check sentence (and, it also shows that subordinators are subordinate to the rest of the sentence---like submarines go down!): _______ the submarine went down, we could still/not see it. After that review, I teach about the power of using terminology and tricks that have something to do with what that part of speech is or does. In the case of subordinate clauses, I like to use the term subordinate clauses over dependent clauses since the subordinator is the first word in a subordinate clause…. And subordinate means less. A subordinate clause is less than a real sentence and cannot be used unless it has a complete sentence added to it: Sub clause, complete sentence. Lastly, I explain four important reasons to have students memorize/recognize Subordinators (and eventually recognize subordinate clauses quickly and easily): Subordinate clauses are bot sentences —recognizing sentences and non-sentences is one of the crucial early writing skills. Punctuating subordinate clause openers and putting complete sentences with openers properly is essential. Subordinate clauses have subjects and verbs and need to have these match in tense and number—just like a sentence does. It will be important later to learn the details of advanced punctuation with subordinate clauses in various positions in a sentence.

Wed, 04 Jan 2023 - 14min - 17 - 10 Minute Grammar #17: Easiest Beginning Story Writing
In today's episode I teach one of my favorite beginning story writing techniques---giving students two paragraphs from a familiar story that they get to finish. (In this case, these came from Jump Start I (semester long book {https://languageartsladystore.com/product/jump-start-i/}) and Write On, Mowgli (one month writing book {https://writeforamonth.com/write-on-writing-topic-based-books/}).) My students love this project! They can pick any two-paragraph-scene starter from several that I give them. Then they use pre-writing boxes to lay out what they want to happen in the scene/how they want to "finish the scene." Even though the story is familiar and each scene ends in a certain way in the original book or movie, the students get to end the scene in any way they want to. So much fun! So much excitement! So much joy for this teacher! There are many benefits to this approach: 1) Short amount of writing--two paragraphs given for them, and they add two paragraphs to finish that scene. (You can have older students do more scenes or more paragraphs for each scene as desired.) 2) Usually the story is familiar to them. 3) The setting, characters, obstacles, etc., are all given for them already in the first two paragraphs we give them. I think you'll hear the excitement in my voice as I explain this method---and I think you'll love the ease of teaching story writing through this as well! --------------------------------------------------- Look me up for more information and links to my resources: Language Arts Lady Blog: https://languageartsladyblog.com/ Language Arts Lady Store: https://languageartsladystore.com/ Teachers Pay Teachers Store: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Language-Arts-Lady-With-Donna-Reish How I Teach YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC20OP_HNTUm8eBMNgMh06sQ Our Homeschool History YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUKW-AXDovY&list=PLjS7lbVmIJpx-3kxpeE8ianP4Ux1BX5iE Our Homeschool History Episodes: https://languageartsladyblog.com/ourhomeschoolhistory How I Teach Episodes: https://languageartsladyblog.com/howiteach/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelanguageartslady/ Monday Mini Mail (Archived Articles): https://languageartsladyblog.com/monday-mini-mail/ 10 Minute Grammar Podcast: https://languageartsladyblog.com/10-minute-grammar/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/characterinkhs/_created/ Facebook/Language Arts Lady: https://www.facebook.com/charactertrainingfromtheheart Punctuation Puzzles: https://languageartsladyblog.com/articles/punctuation-puzzles/ 2022-2023 Classes and Tutoring: https://characterinkblog.com/classesandtutoring/ All LAL Freebies: https://languageartsladyblog.com/freebies/ How I Teach iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-i-teach/id1552986393
Mon, 12 Dec 2022 - 06min - 16 - 10 Minute Grammar 16: 11th Part of Speech? Subordinators
When considering “main parts of speech,” there are a lot of lists floating around. The first eleven episodes of this broadcast are made up of 10 First Parts of Speech in Order. But why are some included and some not? (See 10 MG #1 for more details on that!) I am an advocate of teaching subordinators (also called by other names—find out why this is the best name in today’s episode!) early and often. 1) They make up sentences just like other parts of speech do (though not needed to make a sentence a real sentence). 2) They give a sentence more information. 3) Most importantly, they require special punctuation!! (As I like to tell my students, “When you start a sentence with a subordinate clause, put the comma in where you hear the pause!” In this part one of two episodes, I bring you the first two ways I teach subordinators to upper elementary students (or older students who haven’t learned them yet!): (1) First seven subordinators learned in rhyme: Since, when, because, though As, if, that, although! (2) Subordinate-Check Sentence—75% of the dozens of subordinators fit into this check sentence (and, it also shows that subordinators are subordinate to the rest of the sentence---like submarines go down!): _______ the submarine went down, we could still/not see it. So much more in this episode: the importance of using phrasing that tells what the part of speech does; how to use voice inflection to teach comma input, and more!

Fri, 02 Dec 2022 - 11min - 15 - 10 Minute Grammar 15: Teaching Beginning Poetry for Upper Elementary (Part II of II)
Poetry writing is often avoided by teachers and disliked by students. I’m a firm believer that it doesn’t have to be this way! As a matter of fact, I believe we can change any outlook on writing if we teach students all of the skills needed for each type of writing! On today’s episode, I start by reviewing the first three steps from last week’s episode. Plan for poetry teaching to be a process—not a one and done event. Read aloud from poetry during reading, content areas, unit studies, etc. Use fun, whimsical, silly, and enjoyable poetry books for read aloud. Use familiar yet simple verses for them to highlight and code the rhyme scheme and syllabication with you. (Give them copies of the ones you will teach rhyme scheme from.) Teach the two parts of rhyme scheme using highlighters to code the rhyming words at the end of the lines. In today’s episode, I cover the next six steps I follow in teaching poetry writing to middle schoolers: Have students fill in rhyming words boxes extensively. Use couplets with A-A rhyme scheme and short lines at first. Have students finish simple couplets and A-A-B-B poems. -easy rhymes that are familiar (“Humpty Dumpty” and “Rain, Rain, Go Away,” etc) -simple lines that you make up for them to finish Then have them move into original A-A poetry writing. Move into A-B-A-B poems that you finish together. Then move to original A-B-A-B poems that they write alone or with you as a group. Check out my creative, fun, engaging month-long Christmas writing books! They’re available at the LAL store! ------------------------------------------------ Look me up for more information and links to my resources: Language Arts Lady Blog Language Arts Lady Store Teachers Pay Teachers Store How I Teach YouTube Channel Our Homeschool History YouTube Channel Our Homeschool History Episodes How I Teach Episodes Instagram Monday Mini Mail (Archived Articles) 10 Minute Grammar Podcast Pinterest Facebook/Language Arts Lady Punctuation Puzzles 2022-2023 Classes and Tutoring LAL Freebie of the Month How I Teach iTunes
Fri, 25 Nov 2022 - 13min - 14 - 10 Minute Grammar Episode #14: Teaching Beginning Poetry for Upper Elementary (Part I of II)
Teaching poetry writing is one of the (many) great loves of my life! Upper elementary students can enjoy poetry writing if it is taught to them systematically. On today’s episode, I start with the first three steps I use for teaching poetry to fourth graders and up: Plan for poetry teaching to be a process—not a one and done event. I like to use two weeks of writing time each semester for poetry writing in order to introduce it in a fun way and teach all the skills they will need in order to succeed at writing poetry. Read aloud from poetry during reading, content areas, unit studies, etc. Use fun, whimsical, silly, and enjoyable poetry books for read aloud. Use familiar yet simple verses for them to highlight and code the rhyme scheme and syllabication with you. (Give them copies of the ones you will teach rhyme scheme from.) Teach the two parts of rhyme scheme using highlighters to code the rhyming words at the end of the lines. Highlight rhyming words. Teach them to label these with their letters (AA, etc). Teach them to count and write syllables after each line. I go over this using “Humpty Dumpty” as an example, so it is easy to follow my methodology. Join me next week for the remaining six steps! ------------------------------------------------ Look me up for more information and links to my resources: Language Arts Lady Blog Language Arts Lady Store Teachers Pay Teachers Store How I Teach YouTube Channel How I Teach Episodes Instagram Monday Mini Mail (Archived Articles) 10 Minute Grammar Podcast Pinterest Facebook/Language Arts Lady Punctuation Puzzles 2022-2023 Classes and Tutoring LAL Freebie of the Month How I Teach iTunes
Thu, 17 Nov 2022 - 12min - 13 - 10 Minute Grammar Episode #13: Writing Tips for Kindergarten (Writing Tips for Every Grade Series)
Welcome to another exciting episode of Writing Tips for Every Grade. Today’s topic is still the littles—the kindergarten “writers.” Here are the high points of today’s episode: Teach “writing” informally through reading aloud, listening to audios together, and building the child’s background of experience. Beware of too much “student writing” before reading fluency is reached. Don’t use precious reading lesson time for writing unless child learns to read through writing (rare) Write whole paragraphs for the child Use blank books—stickers, pictures, coloring books, etc., for student to dictate paragraphs to you Use the highlight and write over it method Use the dictated words that you write for the student for reading practice (language experience process) Kindergarteners have a lot to say! When they realize that writing is the spoken word written down—and that they can write every time they dictate to you—watch out! Young writers emerge! ------------------------------------------------ Look me up for more information and links to my resources: Language Arts Lady Blog Language Arts Lady Store Teachers Pay Teachers Store How I Teach YouTube Channel How I Teach Episodes Instagram Monday Mini Mail (Archived Articles) 10 Minute Grammar Podcast Pinterest Facebook/Language Arts Lady Punctuation Puzzles 2022-2023 Classes and Tutoring All LAL Freebies How I Teach iTunes
Wed, 09 Nov 2022 - 10min - 12 - 10 Minute Grammar Episode #12: Preschool Writing Tips (Writing Tips for Every Grade Series)
Welcome to a new series on the 10 Minute Grammar podcast/videocast: Writing Tips for Every Grade! I start out with the littles—oh how I love the littles! Yep, Writing Tips for Preschool! Here are some of the topics I cover: Writing vs. penning--Penning is art. Writing is thinking. Preschoolers can think even when they can’t write! Read to preschoolers often—the more littles are read to, the more they can bring to their own reading and writing process! Experiences to bring to the reading and writing process—the same is true with experiences! Let them see us writing—modeling goes a long way! Write words for them all the time—let them know you are always available to “pen” for them! Writing is the spoken word written down---littles need to know that if they can talk, they can eventually write! And they can write immediately if you pen for them! Let them dictate to you—words, sentences, phrases, paragraphs---write it all for them! Write with highlighter for them to write over –they can practice the penning process by you writing what they say in highlighter and letting them write over the highlighted words. Give them every opportunity to “write” (dictate to you)—kids’ menus, coloring pages, empty notebooks, napkins, notes, greeting cards—you name it! There are so many things we can do to prepare preschoolers to write in the future! They can already create. They can already develop a love for writing when their words are written down for them. ------------------------------------------------ Look me up for more information and links to my resources: Language Arts Lady Blog Language Arts Lady Store Teachers Pay Teachers Store How I Teach YouTube Channel How I Teach Episodes Instagram Monday Mini Mail (Archived Articles) 10 Minute Grammar Podcast Pinterest Facebook/Language Arts Lady Punctuation Puzzles 2022-2023 Classes and Tutoring All LAL Freebies How I Teach iTunes

Wed, 05 Oct 2022 - 12min - 7 - 10 Minute Grammar #7: Pronouns (Parts of Speech Order series)
Pronouns are number six in our line-up of parts of speech order. PRO means for. Pronouns are FOR nouns. They replace nouns so that we don’t have to use the same words over and over again. Two favorite ways to show importance of pronouns: Read paragraph with all nouns---no pronouns. Read paragraph with all pronouns—no nouns. Teach kinds of pronouns as we use them---too many types to teach all at once. Remember grammar is for writing and speaking. They should be writing with pronouns (and the other parts of speech right away). Some programs/handbooks/experts will call some pronouns something else (like both might be considered an adjective or who might be considered a subordinator). Personal possessive pronouns NEVER have apostrophes: his, hers, theirs, ours. Indefinite pronouns do have apostrophes to show possession: somebody’s, other’s, anyone’s.

Three criteria for order of parts of speech: (1) Teach to build sentences. (2) Teach close to something else they are used with (introduce, modify, describe) (3) Teach away from something that it is confused with (adjectives and adverbs apart) Adverbs modify/describe a lot of things: A djectives V erbs A dverbs Adverbs answer four primary questions: HOW: carefully ran WHEN: later called WHERE: drove downtown To WHAT EXTENT: extremely helpful When starting out with adverbs, focus on: 1) Teaching them close to verbs (but not close to adjectives) 2) Looking for/introducing them as LY words the majority of the time 3) Focusing on the question HOW (this will usually be with a verb—the easiest of the three parts of speech they describe and the most common of the three.

Wed, 31 Aug 2022 - 11min - 2 - 10 Minute Grammar #2: Articles/Noun Marker Teaching (Parts of Speech Order Series)
Figuring out an effective, logical order for parts of speech is no small feat. I am going to continue helping you with that, along with some introductory teaching tips for each of the ten parts in this Order of Parts of Speech teaching series! Today I introduce the first in my order: articles/noun markers. I tell the theory behind putting them first and putting them right before nouns (hint: they "mark" nouns!). Then I give you my tried and true article/noun marker rhyme, along with advice as to why the typical "a, an, the" order and wording doesn't work most of the time.

Sat, 20 Aug 2022 - 09min - 1 - 10 MG #1: Introducing the Parts of Speech Order Series
Welcome to the first episode of 10 Minute Grammar (10 MG)! In this episode, I introduce the Parts of Speech Order series that I will be doing over the ten parts of speech for the next several weeks. Today's episode covers Parts of Speech Order "Theory." My three criteria for the order are explained: (1) Teach them in an order that aids in sentence building; (2) Put the parts of speech that go with each other close to each other in the learning process; (3) Try not to teach something that is used to modify, describe, or replace a part of speech BEFORE that part of speech is taught.
