GRAMMAR and YOUR STYLE
UNIT # _____
OVERVIEW |
By viewing and responding to instructional videos, practicing with online flash cards, and taking online quizzes, students will learn the grammatical and stylistic terminology most important in varying and improving their writing style. They will apply this understanding to several journal entries submitted to the instructor online. Students will showcase their understanding by conducting a real-world and online "Grammar Safari," publishing their findings on a self-designed, peer-evaluated website.
|
STRUCTURE |
The unit comprises nine lessons, each containing checkup questions and writing exercises to be submitted using a form embedded in each page. There are several checkups and exercises. Students will receive an emailed score each time they complete a lesson checkup. Checkups must be taken as often as needed to earn a 100 percent before proceeding to the next exercise. The unit quiz, writing exercises, and portfolio assessment may only be submitted once however. Lessons contain videos and handouts which may be downloaded for additional instructional support. An improvement survey will be taken upon completion of the unit.

UNIT AIM |
The aim of this unit is to contribute in producing students who are ready for college and the workplace. According to the Common Core Standards, students who are so prepared demonstrate independence:
"Without prompting, they demonstrate command of standard English and acquire and use a wide-ranging vocabulary. More broadly, they become self-directed learners, effectively seeking out and using resources to assist them, including teachers, peers, and print and digital reference materials.... They appreciate nuances, such as how the composition of an audience should affect tone when speaking and how the connotations of words affect meaning." |
