Imagine using history to teach grammar. This 178-slide PowerPoint presents an amazing collection of images and historical information about the settlement of Tennessee and about famous residents like Daniel Boone. Viewers are tasked with using appropriate sentence combining techniques to correct the choppy, run-on, and stringy sentences used in the commentary.

Classroom Considerations

  • The 178-slide presentation is, of course, too long for one viewing; however, the presentation can be easily divided according to the four lessons contained in the PowerPoint
  • A paid membership is required to view the referenced video

Pros

Combines the grammar exercises with information about the history of Tennessee

Cons

  • An amazing amount of work went into producing this presentation; however, viewers living outside Tennessee may not be engaged by some of the school-specific information
