Bleak is the mood and sarcastic is the tone set for the galaxy for a month. Parallel structure is banned after a gymnast’s accident. The Onomatopoeia Union goes on strike and these words are unavailable.
The royal English children invite students to become fellow grammar guardians in order to save the galaxy from crises like these. Teachers or students read the text themselves. Vocabulary words are defined in the text. Discussion questions follow each lesson to check for understanding. Students then complete a corresponding mission in the mission manual that reinforces the concepts. Teachers provide as much help as necessary.
