How to Use This Editing Celebrity Grammar Activity:
This resource can be used in a few different ways:
-
Celebrity Grammar Edit of the Week: Introduce one of the grammar activity cards to your class per week for 20 weeks. Everyone gets a copy and makes the edits and reasoning on their own (or you can do it in groups or pairs). Then you can use the PowerPoint to go over them together as a class and come to a consensus.
-
Grammar Writing Centers: Include a packet of grammar activities at a writing center where students can choose which updates to work on. Edits can be made in their writing notebook rather than on the sheet (so you don’t have to make tons of copies). You can also make an answer key booklet for them to use after they are done!
- Pair or Group Work: Give each pair or group of students a grammar activity and have them complete it together. Then each pair or group can present the update to the class and share what edits they made. The class can give further suggestions.
