It takes every sentence apart and explains the purpose of every word in every sentence. For me it was difficult because I am not a native English speaker. The grammar I got taught in school is not the same as English grammar and to use the language in a not instinctive manner feels very different. So this unit taught me a lot and I expect to learn more after every unit.The first lesson with a new class is a strong opportunity...  [Read more]

The examples given can help prep a teacher. It is important to be over prepared than under prepared. I like that this unit is more of a reminder of how to overcome situations especially on your...  [Read more]
