Join Connie the Conjunction for a conjunction lesson you'll love and
remember. It's book six of the Meet the Parts of Speech series, in
which the eight parts of speech are personified based on the roles they
play in the sentence.
Nobody in all of Grammaropolis has more style than Connie; she simply
knows how to put things together. After a bump on the head makes her
give bad advice, she uses all the conjunctions at her disposal to set
everything right again. Clear and informative back matter includes
textbook-style definitions and examples for coordinating conjunctions,
correlative conjunctions, and subordinating conjunctions.
In Grammaropolis, adverbs don't just modify verbs; adverbs are bossy.
They tell the verbs where to go, when to leave, and how to
get there. A pronoun doesn't just replace a noun; Roger the pronoun is a
shady character who's always trying to trick Nelson the noun into giving
up his spot. The Meet the Parts of Speech series uses the mechanics of
character and story (plot, motivation, setting, etc.) to breathe life
into what has traditionally been unengaging subject matter.
Our story-based approach combines traditional instruction with original
narrative content, which appeals to different learning styles, increases
both engagement and retention, and encourages students to make a deeper
connection with the parts of speech and punctuation marks.
