Mastering the Mechanics: Grades 6–8

Mastering the Mechanics: Grades 6–8

A collection of easy-to-use lessons that focus on grammar, spelling, punctuation, editing and use of conventions in writing. Each lesson follows a predictable pattern:

Day 1: Modelâ€”A model lesson offers ready-to-use teaching language that can serve as a think-aloud for the many lesson topics in the book (using an editing checklist, combining sentences, punctuation dialogue, and more).

Day 2: Guided Practiceâ€”Use this lesson to guide students through the editing and proofreading of a student writing sample

Day 3: Independent Practiceâ€”When ready, students begin the process of looking back at their own work with a careful eye toward conventions and mechanics. Students edit with their peers.

Also offers numerous assessment tools and a full-color yearlong calendar!
