Detectives de la escritura: ¡Lecciones de gramática semanales para escribir oraciones de 5 estrellas!

Didn't think a grammar class could be fun? That was before you met Sneaky Sam and his writing snafus! 

Each week we will put on our detective hats and read Sneaky Sam's homework assignment! Then the challenge begins, using our detective notebook with grammar clues we will find the errors left behind by Sneaky Sam. Students will learn a new grammar rule during each class without even realizing it as they try to catch Sneaky Sam. Then, we will apply to new rule to complete a writing activity so students can easily remember what they have learned. Students can join in anytime or participate each week and collect all the writing activities for their own helpful grammar notebook. 

Students will have time to collaborate with their peers to catch Sneaky Sam and discuss grammar clues as we solve the mystery each week. I will facilitate a positive and encouraging environment where each student will feel comfortable sharing their ideas.
