Opis

This guide offers a fresh approach to integrating grammar effectively into the secondary classroom as a vital strand of English that both enlivens and enriches students’ understanding of literature. Each chapter demystifies complex terminology and provides an essential overview of relevant subject knowledge and inspiring practical ideas to empower teachers to confidently teach grammar. With a variety of adaptable lesson plans for popular KS3 and KS4 texts, it shows how grammatical requirements can be taught in a lively, text-based manner, developing students’ understanding, improving the quality of their writing, and giving them the skills they need to analyse meaningfully at word level.
