When committed to memory, they will help your student remember each part of speech, how it functions, and how to identify it.
Jingles are used to define the various parts of speech. Some rhyme and have a definite beat, others are just recitations. Some of the jingles are actually sung, but most are recited. The Instructional CD contains an audio version of the jingles which you can also use as an accompaniment. You are supposed to lead the recitation, so it would be helpful to put a post-it note on these pages (you are not allowed to xerox any part of the student workbook). In the Teacher's Manual, they appear only as introduced. All of these are printed in the first section of the student workbook for easy reference. Jingle Time begins many of the lessons and has students recite all of the previously-taught jingles. There is some variety in lesson format, but each lesson has one or more of the following components: Jingle Time, Grammar Time, Skill Time, Study Time, Writing Time, Activity/Assignment Time, Practice Time, Vocabulary Time, Test Time, Check Time. Lessons vary in length and will take from 20-50 minutes each day. The course will take about 26 weeks to complete if you hold to this schedule. Lessons are grouped 5 per chapter to be taught at the rate of one chapter per week. This is a good idea because, occasionally, you will need to plan ahead for materials for some of the activities. Author Brenda Shurley suggests you stay one lesson ahead of your students and study it thoroughly before presenting. There aren't even any teacher preparation pages. The teaching is totally scripted and lessons are very systematic. If you're a little uncertain of your English teaching skills or tend to be disorganized - fear no more. If you like oral recitation, you'll love this program! And, at levels 1-8 the program is totally interactive. A very unique English program that teaches grammar, language skills and writing using consistent, formulated techniques.
