If you are looking to revamp the way grammar is going in your room when you get back from the break, then you will NOT want to miss today’s deal!
I usually only offer my Mastering Mentor Sentences Course with a big discount once a year, but an advent calendar from me wouldn’t be complete without access to the BEST way to transform your teaching!
It is a proven best-practice that students learn from amazing, well-written sentences… not by giving them a sentence filled with mistakes and telling them to “fix it” (especially when they haven’t even learned what it’s SUPPOSED to look like)!
After I implemented the mentor sentence routine with my students, not only was I enjoying teaching grammar through these skill-spiraling, discussion-filled lessons, but my students were also having fun: treating this time as a scavenger hunt, or a game, or a challenge. And best of all… my students’ grammar knowledge AND WRITING improved. I found my students actually trying to imitate the mentor sentences in their own writing.
That’s a teacher’s dream, right?!?
