Hot Fudge Monday is a valuable teacher’s resource designed to
supplement English language curriculums. Teachers can observe students of various
learning levels smile, write, and learn grammar simultaneously.
Hot Fudge Monday brings together the study of words, the process of
writing, and putting words into meaningful sentences. This book is written to
make sense to students, using words, terms, and contexts they can understand.
Hot Fudge Monday consists of eight chapters that focus on verbs, nouns,
prepositions, adjectives, conjunctions, pronouns, interjections, and adverbs.
Students strengthen their English language skills through short writing activities that are interesting and humorous. The exercises are designed to be quite different than those found in standard educational texts, making this resource a fun supplement to the daily classroom curriculum. Answer keys are provided at the end of the book for easy reference.
