***********************************************************************************************************

In my book, Simple Steps to Sentence Sense, I present eight simple steps, which if followed in order, make it easy to analyze an English sentence.

I'm Charlene Tess, and grammar is my specialty. I have always loved taking sentences apart and putting them back together, and I successfully taught my students using the simple steps method for over three decades.

You will save money if you buy the eBook that includes all of the 8 Simple Steps to Sentence Sense and an advanced step for AP students. You will find it here.

**********************************************************************************************************

First, make copies of the SAM sheet and the lesson notes and give each student a copy.

Please be aware that this unit comes directly from the book. If you already own or plan to purchase the Simple Steps to Sentence Sense for High School book, this product will be a duplicate. It is important that you follow the 8 simple steps you will find in the Simple Steps to Sentence Sense for High School book in order to fully understand how to analyze English sentences. Skipping around can be confusing and the tests in the book are cumulative. For example, Step One, Finding Prepositional Phrases, and Step Two are also tested in all the steps that follow.
