Full Year Grammar: Grammar For High Schoolers With Mentor Sentences
A Better Way To TeachA Better Way To TeachDescription
This full-year grammar curriculum has everything you need to teach grammar to your high schoolers, and with almost no prep! This research-based curriculum uses the concept of teaching grammar with MENTOR SENTENCES because in order for students to learn grammar it has to be through an integrated approach.
Every lesson is well scaffolded, includes powerful mentor sentences and ample opportunities for writing practice, so that your students will not only understand the grammar concept, but they will also become better writers.
The lessons are fun, and the concepts stick!
HOW THESE LESSONS ENGAGE YOUR LEARNERS:
- Warm-up games that wake your students up
- References to pop culture in the example sentences get students' attention (these are customizable slides that you can fill in with what interests your students)
- Mentor sentences that showcase great writing
- Sentence frames allow your students to have a clear path to mastery
- Picture and video prompts that give your students something fun about which to write
- Hands-on grammar games that allow your students to work more fully with grammar concepts
- Interactive review games that allow your students to practice while having fun
- High-interest quick-writes that allow students to further practice their craft
DIFFERENTIATION
- This curriculum works for your emerging learners, on level learners, and advanced students because there are multiple ways to alter the lessons to fit your students' needs.
- I include a video tutorial that explains how you can differentiate lessons by breaking the longer lessons into multiple mini lessons, changing the complexity of the mentor sentences, and giving different options for the writing prompts.
- All the google slides lessons and quizzes are customizable, so you have the freedom to change it to fit your needs
- PLUS if you want some more specific ideas for differentiation for your class, I'm happy to work with you on your particular needs by giving you more ideas of how to tailor the curriculum for your students.
- Other teachers have told me that these lessons challenge their "high flyers" and also meet the need of their emerging learners because it is intentionally scaffolded.
