Mrs.+Hunter-+Grammar+Expectations

Grammar Expectations **__ Overview __** Through the course of this year/semester we are going to cover many aspects of grammar. You are responsible for completing class work each day. These assignments go in your grammar section of your notebook. Each day we will complete the following assignments each day: ** Monday ** : This is a teaching day. You are responsible for a practice assignment given to you in class. ** Tuesday ** : This day is for modeling. We will look at model sentence and apply concepts we are learning that week. ** Wednesday ** : Your job for the middle of the week is to find an example of the key grammar concept we are working on in the literature we are currently reading in class. ** Thursday ** : You are given a blue grammar workbook to bring to class each Thursday. You are to complete the 3 pages that go alongside the concepts we are studying that day. ** Friday ** : This is the end of the week and study of that week’s grammar concept. Our job is to apply this week’s concept and review previous concepts. We will do this by playing the sentence stacker game. We start with a short, boring sentence and stack additional grammar pieces on top of it to create a much more intricate and interesting sentence. We will also take the Concept quiz! **__ Grading __** These assignments will be checked each Friday. You will receive a grade for each of the assignments based on completion. They are class work grades that are averaged together to form a weekly grammar grade that is one formative assignment in the grade book. *//For example if you complete 4 of the 5 assignments you will get an 80% in the grade book//*//.//
