A one-week to two-week unit on standard proofreading or editing markscomplete with daily bell ringers, worksheets, quiz, a teacher's guide, and more!

This is unit #1 of Ten-Minute Grammar: Trimester One. Also available are the other eight units in Trimester One, all nine units in Trimester Two, and nine more in Trimester Three.

TMG: FULL YEAR!

Ten-Minute Grammar is a comprehensive grammar curriculum based on the Common Core Standards for seventh-grade, eighth-grade, or ninth-grade students. Using only the first ten minutes of each day, this unit helps students learn to use and recognize common editing marks or proofreading symbols--from a writer's perpective as well as an editor's. Students practice and review for a week to a week and a half, and then take a final quiz. An extra-practice worksheet provides differentiation and remediation for students struggling with the concepts. To give the students exposure to quality published writing, some of the practice example sentences are drawn from Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli.

This 18-page unit includes everything you'll need for up to two weeks of grammar instruction:
* Seven days of bell-ringer activities
* Daily wordplay activities
* One double-sided worksheet
* One unit quiz
* Two classroom posters / student handouts
* Plus an additional 14-page teacher's guide with answer keys and extra lesson instructions

The daily bellwork or bell ringers can be copied onto transparencies for an overhead projector or projected digitally onto a white board or a SmartBoard.

Unit files will come as a PDF file, but the folder also includes the original Word files in case you want to make small tweaks to a page or two (which I often like to do when I purchase lesson materials from someone else.) Download the FREE preview in PDF format for a sample of what you'll get in the unit.

Enjoy, and remember to WRITE A REVIEW!
