New: G.U.M. Notebooks and Journals
Students will receive instruction in grammar every week. G.U.M. stands for Grammar, Usage, and Mechanics. Students will copy sentences into their G.U.M. notebooks and use proofreading marks to fix the mistakes. Together, the sentences make a story about Horribly Hard Middle School. These assignments will be graded every other week and are worth 100 points! It is very important that every student gives his or her best effort to complete their G.U.M. notebook assignments.
We write every day in ELA! Students will need a composition notebook to use as their writer's notebook. Students will use their writer's notebooks to write one-paragraph responses to a given prompt every day. The writer's notebooks will be reviewed for completion and graded as such every couple of weeks.
