CLASS DESCRIPTION
This 6 week class focuses on one part of speech: VERBS. Understanding parts of speech helps in understanding word functions, their meanings, and their function within a whole sentence. Verbs are the action words that we use to describe what a person, place, or thing is doing! So it is important to understand the different types of verbs, as well as their proper use within a sentence. That is why this course also goes into depth on the 12 tenses that verbs can be conjugated into.
The class is composed of 6 lessons.
Weeks 1 and 2 cover the types of verbs, while weeks 3-6 cover verb tenses and conjugation.
CLASS FORMAT
No live classes—view lessons on YOUR schedule. In general, expect 1.5-2.5 hours to work through the lesson plan each week, and an additional 2-5 hours working on assignments (it really depends what assignment your child chooses to do and how they manage their time). For classes with two levels, the material is the same for both—the depth of the assignments differs. Younger students should usually be placed in Level 1. Older students, or younger students who want more of a challenge, should be placed in Level 2.
Each lesson consists of a fully narrated PowerPoint presentation with images and videos to enhance the topics. Students will have access to our learning management system, Canvas, for viewing their lesson, printing worksheets, taking quizzes, viewing/submitting assignments, participating in discussions, and viewing grades/feedback.

Next Level Homeschool is a firm believer that not all learning should happen from behind a screen! That's why we give students the freedom to submit their assignments in the way THEY want to! We don't want regurgitation learning here. By allowing students to use their own talents, skills, and passions to complete assignments, they become even more engaged and retain the information. Why? Because now it's literally in their hands! We receive thousands of projects every year from our students: written reports, videos, models, posters, Scratch, Minecraft, Roblox, songs, poems, skits, drawings, sculptures, crafts—we've seen it ALL! And WE LOVE IT!!
