Grammaropolis

21 episodes

Animated music videos that hand every part of speech and every punctuation mark its own character and its own song. The catalog runs the full eight parts of speech alongside the marks that trip kids up: apostrophes for contractions and possession, commas, the colon as organizer, hyphen against dash, parentheses and brackets, the exclamation mark. A synonyms-and-antonyms number is in there too. Each video lasts two to four minutes, which is about right for an ELA warm-up, a hook at the top of a mini-lesson, or a review station a student can replay alone.
