Customer Reviews
Repetition of activities
Overall there were some good ideas in this book, but many of the activities are repeated - just modified to suit the topic such as Tic-Tac-Toe, Acrostic poems, Don't Say It and one where you read out a story and the students put their hands up when they hear for example a prepositional phrase.
Great fun for questionable people!
I'm a teacher myself. I've taught all sorts of kids all sorts of things! Well, this Sunley character is quite a case. Looking through the book, some of the activities are great fun, but some are a notch or two away from questionable. For instance, activity number 7-A4 (she uses a solid and reliable numbering system with fun little characters forcing others into the shapes of numbers, she doesn't use cute and fun names like other authors, but it works) involves the female students and male students lining up on different sides of the room. Once the females are ready, they each get to throw a piece of clay at the boys, shouting out a verb. Once all the boys are on the ground, the girls win.
Grammar Lessons
Great addition to the classroom. Adds some fun and creativity to teaching grammar in the elementary classroom. Easy to prepare for activities.
