G9+2010+English+Grammar


 * Welcome to the** **G9** **English** **Grammar page!**

There will be two grammar classes most weeks. Each week, we will have a mini-lesson. You should, in your Language Notebook, copy down the objective of the mini-lesson. On that page, if there are any activities to do during the mini-lesson, you should write them there. After the mini-lesson, you should complete the requirements of your assigned color: //Yellow, Green, or Blue//, using both the laptops and your notebook. At the end of each class, you should record what activities you have done, and any major problems you have had. When you are ready for the assessment, you may take it. If, by Friday, you are not ready for the assessment, you should use the time after our Spelling Quiz to take the assessment. Therefore, any activities you have not completed by the end of our 2nd grammar class will become homework.

1. Participation in Mini-Lessons 2. Grammar notebook's demonstration of learning: -Activities completed -Self-Assessment 3. Performance on Assessments 4. Effective use of time during class 5. Any extra credit extension projects you complete
 * Your grammar grade will consist of the following:**


 * //You are free to move on to future topics if you desire, once you have completed the assessment for each topic. However, your participation in mini-lessons is still required, even if you have already finished all activities and assessments for that topic. Or, if you choose, you may do the activities of other colors if you complete your assessment quickly. Remember that Effective Time Use is part of your grade.//**
