  Learning Target(s):

  • Use the conventions of Canadian spelling, grammar, and punctuation proficiently and as appropriate to the context.  


Grammar skills are important in many aspects of our life from education to our employment from our social life to our home life. Grammar lays the ground work for effective communication.  When you use your cell phone to call a friend and you have bad reception, you will most likely find that the intent of your conversation will be greatly affected.  Your friend may not understand what you are trying to speak to them about.  The same can be said for our understanding of proper grammar.  Improper grammar can greatly affect the meaning and clarity of our intended message.
