I officially have 4 new worksheets for my Teachers Pay Teachers store. I plan on uploading everything at the end of the month, as I would like them all to be available at the same time for those needing comprehensive work. I have built 2 guides - one for adverbs and one for prepositions/clauses to help with infinitive/indicative/subjunctive understanding. Additionally I have created 1 worksheet for each of the guides, thus the 4 items. I would like to build a quiz so then I have six.
Again, and surprisingly, I'm not as quick in my building of material and thinking as I was before. I believe part of that is due to the fact that I simply don't do this on a day-in day-out basis anymore. As a result, my brain is not wired to think in 'worksheet' mode. Additionally, I know that part of it is also because I don't have to build any specific curriculum or sub-course or quarter curriculum, so I don't have a definitive start and end point. Amazingly, not having one - or rather, having the ability to start and stop anywhere you choose - leads to greater vagueness and definition of scope. When you have to teach or reteach X, no matter how odd the parameters or how many gaps you see that you have to fit into one lesson, creativity flourishes as you have to overcome one very specific obstacle. Your brain starts working on all the possible ways to complete it. But when it doesn't have a given problems - when anything can be the problem - it's not sure when to 'draw the line', if you will.
However, I have outlined that I will be continuing with Adverbs and Prepositions. Then I would like to include at least 1 more before the end of the month. Here's the new teaching year ahead!
