Bedömning:

Jag kommer bedöma din förmåga att:

Show you have an understanding of the above areas through class discussions and a test at the end of the unit that consists of multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions.Show that during class that you can differentiate between the parts of speech and use them correcting both orally and written.

You must be able to explain your answers. For example, if a word “Tuesday” is a noun, you must be able to say whether or not it is a proper noun and why. In this case it is a proper noun (and is capitalized) because it is a day of the week.
