How To Use This Christmas Grammar Activity:
This resource can be used in a few different ways:
1. Christmas Edit Of The Day: Introduce one of the updates to your class each day for the 14 days leading up to Christmas break. Everyone receives 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 the update together as a class and come to a consensus.
2. Christmas Writing Centers: Include a packet of the task cards 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. You can also make an answer key booklet for them to use after they are done!
3. Pair Work: Give each pair of students a Christmas update task card and have them complete it together. Then each pair can present the update to the class, and share what edits they made. The class can give further suggestions.
4. Group Work: Give a group of three or four students one of the Christmas updates and have them come to an agreement about the edits to make and the rewritten sentence. The group can present the update to the class when they are finished.
