| Grammar Essentials ---------- $39 |
| The purpose of this class is to revisit the very basic tenants of grammar in everyday use. For many of us, after high school and even college, we take the written use of the English language for granted, often picking up some bad habits along the way. Many of us simply write what we are told to write while on the job, with little thought given to how punctuation and grammar can influence the overall meaning. Some of us are so used to texting and communicating in abbreviated language, that it can sometimes be difficult to conjure up correct spellings. During this class, participants will examine the difference between common and proper nouns and practice unscrambling sentences and identifying key grammatical components. Students will leave the class able to identify simple and complex sentence structures and paragraphs. |

This course is designed to introduce a proven critical thinking model and allow the analysts to put this model into practice immediately against relevant problems in the safe environment of the classroom. This course includes hand-outs and pamphlets for the students, and the use of graphic recording to capture key concepts and assist the analysts in visualizing and retaining the information provided.
