Summary
Students will actively practice correcting mistakes related to subject-verb agreement, double negatives, pronoun case, run-on sentences, dangling participles, and the placement of prepositions. The goal is to build confidence and accuracy in both written and spoken English.
Activities
Students begin by reflecting on their personal grammar challenges and their views on the importance of "perfect" grammar in various communication settings.
Learners deduce the meanings of essential grammatical terms such as double negative, pronoun case, subject-verb agreement, and dangling participle from contextual examples.
A parody video provides an engaging way to observe and list common grammar mistakes in action, reinforcing concepts discussed in the lesson.
Targeted exercises focus on practical application: choosing correct verb forms for subject-verb agreement, eliminating double negatives, selecting appropriate pronouns (e.g., I/me, who/whom).
Students practice identifying and rewriting sentences with structural errors, including run-on sentences, dangling participles, and sentences ending with a preposition.
The lesson includes a cloze activity to reinforce grammar-related vocabulary and a final task where students identify and correct multiple errors within a paragraph.
Vocabulary focus
Key terms include pitch, value proposition, engaging, clarity, innovative, and networking. Exercises provide opportunities to use these terms in crafting and delivering pitches.
Grammar focus
The grammar emphasis is on relative clauses (e.g., “I help businesses, which struggle with productivity, streamline operations”). Students learn to incorporate these structures to enhance the depth and specificity of their pitches.
