We are implementing something new in writing. Students will complete
daily MUG Shot Sentences. MUG stands for MECHANICS, USAGE, and
GRAMMAR. Students will correct one sentence each day during writing time. We will check these sentences in class and discuss the
grammar rules that apply.
At the end of each week
(every Friday) students will correct a MUG Shot Paragraph as a quiz. The paragraph will have the same
types of grammar, usage, and mechanics mistakes that we have been
working on through the week with our MUG Shot Sentences.
Daily
sentences will not be recorded in the grade book, but Friday's quiz
grades will be recorded. You may check behind your child's writing tab (in their binder)
to see each week's MUG Shot Sentences and Paragraph Quiz. Paragraph
Quizzes may not be corrected before class on Friday, although it is
perfectly fine to look over the paragraph with your child before hand
and discuss possible errors and corrections.
