Look no further. Mirrors & Windows Exceeding the Standards: Grammar & Style offers a comprehensive, developmental curriculum, using selections from each unit in the textbook as examples and exercises. This supplement includes explicit instruction and practice for grammar, usage, mechanics, and writing.
Exceeding the Standards: Grammar & Style offers a variety of options to incorporate grammar instruction into the language arts classroom. Sixty-four lessons, developed to be used twice weekly, cover a broad range of topics from the sentence and parts of speech to common usage problems and writing effectively. And best of all, all sixty-four lessons are available on the www.mirrorsandwindows.com website and can be distributed via the Internet to your students.
In these practice exercises, a unique three-step approach gives students the opportunity to:
• Identify grammar concepts in literature models or sample sentences contextually related to the textbook
• Understand the usage of grammar concepts and correct errors in usage
• Use grammar concepts in their own writing
The material in the Grammar & Style supplement extends the instruction presented in the Student Edition. These lessons are organized in a developmental scope and sequence and are illustrated with literature models or examples related to the same unit in the Student Edition. The Grammar & Style workshops in the Student Edition incorporate vocabulary from the preceding selection or selections to teach corresponding grammar concepts.
The integration of these two program components—Grammar & Style supplement lessons and Grammar & Style textbook workshops—allows you two good teaching options. There's no need for a separate grammar book that is not integrated with your literature program!
By using these lessons in conjunction with the Mirrors & Windows: Connecting with Literature textbook, you will help your students become better readers, writers, and communicators!
