Posters and Other Resources for Teaching Grammar
"Yes, You Must Teach Grammar" is one of the chapters in the book, Teaching Students to Write by Scott Purdy. However, there is no point teaching grammar for grammar's sake. If our students are ever going to "buy in" to learning parts of speech, punctuation, capitalization, and usage, we must make this instruction as practical, purposeful, and painless as possible.
The teacher resources presented below provide reminders and summaries of grammar rules. When used in the classroom, these applications become easier to integrate into all curriculum areas as opposed to a fifteen minute hit-and-miss lesson which most students (and many teachers) would prefer to miss.
Grammar Posters
Punctuation Posters (set of 4)
Always have the most common grammar rules on display in your classroom. This set of four large classroom posters will help students learn comma rules, capitalization rules, prepositions, and subordinating conjunctions.
Parts of Speech Posters (set of 8)
Teach the parts of speech in a fun and entertaining way with this set of eight full-color classroom posters. The posters provide hysterical examples of nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, conjunctions, interjections, and prepositions.
Expository & Narrative Writing Posters
The perfect addition to any writing teacher's classroom, these two full-color classroom posters display the properties of the expository and narrative writing styles to allow students to identify and more easily understand the components involved in the writing process.
