- Grammar- new program-Giggles in the Middle an integrated approach to teaching language skills in context. Grammar, usage, mechanics, vocabulary, paragraphing, varied sentence structure, spelling of homophones and commonly misspelled words, use of literary devices, and how to avoid fragments, are all taught within the context of a story. We will begin with an introduction to the story, “The Bizarre Mystery of Horribly Hard Middle School”, and the skills of paragraphing, identifying types of sentences, use of commas, use of verbs, articles, and alliteration. The pupils will receive their spelling words from the week’s sentences. There will be approximately twenty words a week. I know the students will find this approach not only educational but fun at the same time.
