Draw Write Now Book 8 - Animals of the World, Part II
Beginning drawing and writing lessons for children ages five to ten. BOOK 8 focuses on dry land animals of the world - Savannas, grasslands, mountains, and deserts. The books are simple enough for a young child to do independently, but a teacher or parent may present the lessons. Each drawing lesson includes a colorful picture and step-by-step instructions, while the writing lesson includes four simple handwritten sentences. The teacher or parent may introduce letter formation or have the children copy the sentences for handwriting practice, or use the lessons as a springboard for creative writing or report writing.
They include exercises for your students. Some of the grammatical points covered are the following:
All vs All of ; Amount vs Number vs Quantit; Assure , Ensure, Insure, Secure; Between vs Amon; Causative verbs; Close (to) vs near (to)
Conditional sentences; Confusing words ; Either or / Neither nor; Even though / Even if / Even so; Lastly, Finally, Eventually, In the end , at last, etc..
Each topic is addressed in a problem-oriented manner, with specific mistakes demonstrated by sample sentences taken from actual papers (and appropriately altered to clearly illuminate the problem under consideration). The examples consisting of these original sentences and their corrected versions form the backbone of each chapter, with the accompanying discussion focused on their elucidation.
Careful investigations have shown that children understand many words more easily by seeing them used in appropriate sentences than by trying to understand their synonyms listed in a dictionary. The 10,000 words in A Sentence Dictionary are therefore used in sentences skilfully written to make them interesting to students. A special feature is the use of a symbol to separate the meanings of a word, or its uses as different parts of speech.
