http://www.kingsharvest.com/grammar.html
"And let us not grow weary when doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
Galatians 6:9 These basic grammar, punctuation, and capitalization tips are meant to be a starting point for further study. For further information check out our Writing Reference Links and for more comprehensive study, in learning to write, we recommend these King's Harvest Books: Comprehensive Composition , and Natural Speller. Grammar is defined as the study of how words and their parts combine to form sentences. Students need to have an understanding of grammar, so they will know how words and sentences should be put together. This will improve their ability to communicate effectively, whether speaking or writing. Parts of speech are words that are classified according to their functions in sentences. The eight parts of speech are nouns, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, pronouns, verbs, and interjections. Articles are sometimes included, as well. Parts of Speech defined:
  • Noun - a word that names a person, place, thing or idea.

Grammar Journals
Grammar Journals are a quick way to practice necessary punctuation and capitalization rules. They are an efficient way to see at almost a glance which of your students is having trouble with a particular skill and which is grasping skills immediately. In addition it gives the students practice using proofreader's marks. I use this activity during the first grading period with my sixth-grade class as a follow up to all the rules they learned in fifth-grade.
Directions:
  • I prepare a journal cover for each of my students by folding a 9" x 12" piece of construction paper in half and placing on it a computer generated label with each student's name.
  • On the first day of school I have each student take ten pieces of loose leaf paper and fold them in half, slipping the paper between the folded cover and stapling them.
  • Every morning before the students arrive, I write a sentence containing capitalization and punctuation mistakes on the chalkboard. I use the same rules during the entire week. The following week I add another rule to those reviewed last week.
  • When the students arrive, they are to copy the incorrect sentence into their journal, use proofreading marks to show needed corrections, then correctly write the sentence. They are to have these completed before the day's opening exercises.

    Capitalization in German 2 German Capitalization Rules with Examples
    Comparing English and German Rules Part 1 Quiz I n most cases German and English capitalization are similar or identical. I have pointed out those similarities in Part 1 . But here is a closer look at the most important differences: 1. SUBSTANTIVE (Nouns) All German nouns are capitalized. This simple rule was made even more consistent by the new spelling reforms. Whereas under the old rules there were exceptions in many common noun phrases and some verbs ( radfahren recht haben heute abend ), the 1996 reforms now require the nouns in such expressions to be capitalized (and set apart): Rad fahren (to ride a bike)

    http://curry.edschool.virginia.edu/sped/projects/ose/information/ints/gram.html
    Target
    Improving students' abilities to identify and comprehend pronoun-referent structures
    Participants
    Elementary grade students who were identified as skill deficient in understanding pronoun-referent structures
    Technique
    Each day the teacher began by pre-teaching six sentences taken from grade appropriate materials. Next the student read the first sentence. Then the teacher emphasized the pronoun and its referent. Immediately she asked what the pronoun stood for. When the student answered correctly, the teacher praised the student. She then restated the sentence to reinforce the student's understanding of the correct response. If the student made an error on any of these steps, the teacher repeated the entire procedure with the student. Next, the student read passages of approximately 250 words in which ten pronouns were targeted for comprehension. The teacher modeled where to find the referents for the first three pronouns. For the last seven pronouns the teacher asked what the (pronoun) stood for. If the student made an error the teacher demonstrated how to find the pronoun-referent structure.
    Evaluation
    Record the number of correct pronoun-referents identified.

    Parallelism
    Parallelism refers to the way that items in a series are worded. You want to use the same style of wording in a series of itemsit makes it easier on the reader. Widely varied wording is distracting and potentially confusing to readers. Here are some examples, with revisions and some comments: Problem: The report discusses how telescopes work, what types are available, mounts, accessories, and techniques for beginning star gazers. (The "how" and the "why" clauses are not parallel to the "mounts," "accessories," and "techniques" phrases.) Revision: The report discusses how telescopes work, what types of telescopes, mounts, and accessories are available, and how to begin your hobby as a star gazer. Problem: Customers often call the showroom to inquire about pricing, what items are available, and to place orders.
