Grammar Group Presentation

Wow! I must say that I was impressed at the “Paris Theme” this group used to teach their presentation. I thought that it was especially thoughtful of them to bring in “wine” for the class to enjoy. I also enjoyed the background music that was being played at an non-distracting level throughout the presentation. The group really got into character by dressing up in berets and “French” attire. I liked the theme, and I thought it was a good lead-in to their entire lesson: how to use grammar in an artistic manner. Their enthusiasm for their topic was very motivating when it came time for me to compose sentences using an “artistic brush.” I enjoyed the light-hearted, yet descriptive sentences that spewed from my mouth as the presenters guided me through several stages of artistic grammar. I feel that time flew by fast for the students and presenters alike. During the first session, we were practically out of time as soon as the lesson began. I feel that the activities chosen did a good job of reflecting the content of the book this group read. After discussing the book a little further with the presenters, I have decided that it is definitely one I would like to have on my book shelf. Thank you Grammar Group!
