Editing & Revising Bundle (Grades 9-12)

Course Description

This bundle includes the Editing (Grades 9-12) with Make and Take course and the Revising (Grades 9-12) with Make and Take course. Make and Take boxes and materials will be mailed to the physical address that you provide at checkout and will arrive within a week of purchasing the 9-12 Editing & Revising Bundle.

Tackle the objective section of the assessment head-on!  You will experience sentence structure and grammar rules being brought to life. Students will know what it means to SEE a sentence, and BE a sentence. Participants will explore tactile-kinesthetic games that help students learn and internalize grammar rules.  These learning games will be followed by how to apply this to the assessment and samples of how it will look on the test.  This course will go on to address:  nouns, pronouns, verbs (helping and linking), verb tense (simple, perfect, progressive, and perfect progressive), adjectives, prepositions, prepositional phrases, adverbs, punctuation, capitalization, and the all important- comma! Classrooms will never be the same after this course!

In true Writing Academy, creative, tactile-kinesthetic fashion, revising will be taught by being a R.O.C.K. star!  Teachers will learn to teach students to recognize connections, offs, repeats, and knowledge needed in assessment test selections. This course will address fragments/run-ons and misused/confused words. Teachers will see how students become “CSI – Comma Splice Investigators” to become experts in comma usage and sentence structure. Teachers will walk away with a wealth of knowledge about what is tested on the assessment, and tactile-kinesthetic, fun ways for students to learn and remember how to revise sentences, selections, and papers using sample assessment test passages/questions.

Welcome to your Make and Take journey with Teach BIG: The Writing Academy!  You will receive your box of Make and Take materials approximately one week from the date you sign up for the course.  You are welcome to begin the course, but you will need to stop when a Make and Take time appears until you have received your box of goodies, unless you would like to progress through the course and compete the Make and Take at a later time.
