Grammar
Term 4
Term 3
This term for Grammar I am going to trial negotiated learning. Students
will be given a series of concepts that they need to master within the term. They
will need to demonstrate to me that they understand the concept to receive their
‘wise owl’ to place on the branch (Data Wall). Students will need to
demonstrate their understanding to me in three ways; 1. Explaining what it
means, 2. Identifying the concept in a piece of writing and 3. Using it in their
writing at least three times (depending on concept). Once they have achieved
their ‘wise owl’, they need to continue to demonstrate their understanding to
me throughout the term. If students fail to maintain correct usage of grammar
in their work their ‘wise owl’ will fall until they are able to demonstrate to
me their understanding again. Students will be able to use Grammar Minutes as one option of showing their understanding - requiring a 85%-90% success rate.
Students will be able to gain their own understanding by working with their peers, researching themselves on the internet or by working with me. I can provide worksheets if they wish. This is to be negotiated with me as to how they will gain their own understanding.
They will be given one/ two rotations in a cycle of Literacy groups to work on their grammar and they will also be given an extra half an hour a week to complete activities. There will be regular check in times for students to demonstrate their understanding.
