WHAT’S INCLUDED?

• teacher guide
• digital converted activities for paperless or 1:1 classrooms
• posters in B&W and Color
• two lesson plan options for Exploration of the skill in NARRATIVES with an original story or poem: Option 1 allows students to notice revisions already made, and Option 2 requires revisions to be made to the story.
• two application/assessment activities for narrative writing aligned to the same theme from the Exploration Phase
• two lesson plan options for Exploration of the skill in NONFICTION with an original passage: Option 1 allows students to notice revisions already made, and Option 2 requires revisions to be made to the passage.
• two application/assessment activities for expository writing, also aligned to the same theme from the Exploration Phase

 

You’ll find that every unit provides two versions of each lesson within the exploration phase of each genre. Option 1 enables students to notice how the grammar skill enhances a text by comparing two versions of a story or passage. This option is perfect for an introduction to the skill.

Option 2 requires students to revise the story or passage with the grammar skill. Start with this option if students have already had experience with using the grammar skill in writing. The nonfiction lesson also requires students to use a provided fact sheet for accuracy, which enhances research skills.

You could choose to use just one of the lessons within each genre, or begin with Option 1 and then also utilize Option 2 for scaffolded practice.

WHY SHOULD YOU TEACH GRAMMAR IN CONTEXT?

Teaching grammar in isolation can often lead to fragmented learning where students struggle to apply the skills in their writing. Integration helps students understand how grammar concepts function in real-world contexts, making the learning process more meaningful and engaging.

It ensures that grammar becomes an integral part of your students’ “toolkit,” rather than an isolated set of rules to memorize. Through exploration of models followed by application, your grammar instruction becomes a dynamic, interactive process to enhance students’ writing skills.
