Dn. James Hughes, St. Michael's School, Santa Rosa, CA <br /><br />Have you ever drawn a conjunction Do you have fond memories of learning the difference between a noun and a preposition This book introduces the thirteen members of the Sentence family (four adults and nine children), who are, of course, the four types of sentences and the nine basic parts of speech. <br /><br />The Sentence Family grammar curriculum was inspired by a fourth grade class many years ago and has proved to be an enjoyable and successful way to teach and learn the parts of speech. The personalities and pictures of the Sentence children symbolically show the nature, function and relationships of the parts of speech. <br /><br />The Sentence Family, Introducing Grammar through Art and Story includes descriptions of each of the parts of speech - not in abstract terms, but in personalities of children. The interactions of the children, and their pictures,reflect the relationships of the parts of speech. The book is 8 ½ by 11 with 44 pages of text and thirteen full-color pictures of the characters. Also included are general instructions for drawing and instructions for basic diagraming. <br /><br />For more details and sample pages from the publisher's website, click <a href="../%22../%22%5C%22../%22http://www.stmichaelschool.us/sentencefamily.html/%22%5C%22/%22/%22">here</a>.<br /><br />Coilbound.

For to conform to God through such qualities, and not to judge anyone or to say that he is wicked and has sinned, is to render the soul inviolate. <br /></em></p></blockquote> Fri, 23 May 2008 17:51:59 GMT
