Splashes From The River is the heart-child of David Mielke and Marie Rackham. The company's first commercial video product, The Basic Cozy Grammar Course, is based on a grammar curriculum developed by Marie over the course of her many years as a Morepublic school teacher. Educational products that were subsequently released are: The Basic Cozy Punctuation Course, The Basic Cozy Essay Writing Course, The Intermediate Cozy Grammar Course - Level 1, The Intermediate Cozy Grammar Course - Level 2, and The Cozy Classroom Collection CD, featuring classical piano music performed by Marie.Less
Special Package 1 includes all of the video lessons and workbook exercises and answer keys for The Basic Cozy Grammar Course and The Basic Cozy Punctuation Course.
Marie uses her Buddah as an example in this video and worksheet. As a Christian who wants to teach my children Biblical truth, I have decided not to use this program any longer.
Again the lesson covers a lot of information with very little material for the student to practice. This is not a true basic grammar program and would be better suited for review since it moves so fast.
This is a wonderful lesson on how to use brackets. Brackets are used 4 ways: to add clarifying words to a quotation, to correct errors within a quotation, to set aside extra facts within parentheses, and to enclose stage directions in play scripts.
MoreFor example, when the word "sic" is enclosed by brackets within a quotation or sentence, it means that the word or phrase before it is incorrect or spelled, and it is not a transcription error.
It's exciting to finally understand why [sic] sometimes shows up in documents with misspelled words; the author is trying to reproduce the quote verbatim and not ruin the original copy even though it is wrong.Less
