Grammaropolis

Background on Grammaropolis for a teacher: what it is (character-led grammar, Grades 1-8, five pillars), the Mayor, the five-step teaching cycle, how the free and paid tiers work, and the key links. Call this to explain the product or its method before recommending lessons.

about_grammaropolis

Given a Common Core (CCSS) ELA-Literacy code (e.g. 'L.4.1' or 'CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.4.1'), return every Grammaropolis lesson that covers it. Grammaropolis lessons are indexed by CCSS only: codes from other frameworks (Texas TEKS, Florida B.E.S.T., or another state's) are not indexed and will not match, so this tool requires the CCSS equivalent.

find_lessons_for_standard

Fetch one lesson by its cell_uid (from list_lessons or find_lessons_for_standard). For a free anchor concept, returns the full lesson body (the five-step teaching cycle). For a paid concept, returns metadata plus a deep link to the lesson's page on grammaropolis.com and an honest note that the full lesson is part of the paid catalog. Never returns paid body content.

get_lesson

Browse lesson metadata across the catalog, optionally filtered. `pillar` is a pillar key (pos, pd, sf, wc, ww). `grade` is an integer 1-8. `topic` matches a grammar term or concept slug the way a teacher phrases it (e.g. 'proper nouns', 'commas', 'subjects and predicates', 'persuasive writing'). Returns metadata only (title, characters, CCSS codes, free/paid, a one-line description, and a deep link); use get_lesson for a full free lesson body.

list_lessons

List the five Grammaropolis curriculum pillars (Parts of Speech, Punctuation Department, Sentence Factory, The Writing Company, Wonderful Words), each with its hub URL, print workbook line, free anchor concept, lesson counts, and a `free_games` list of free, no-sign-in Grammaropolis Arcade games for that department (a good practice complement to a lesson). Call this first to orient before listing or fetching lessons.
