Why?
We must develop a common lingo If your students know and understand the lingo, you
can tell them to use who for subjects and predicate nominatives and whom for direct objects, indirect objects, and objects of prepositions.
If they don’t know grammar, or have a common lingo, they’ll look at you like your nuts.
It is our responsibility to make sure our students know how to write and speak properly!

What We Know
What we have done in the past isn’t working: Students do not really understand it Students do not try to understand it
because they know it will all go away once the unit test is over
Student writing Data- CSAP and ACT/SAT are focusing more
on grammar because colleges and businesses are complaining about lacking skills

Discoveries about Grammar Instruction
Traditional methods of teaching grammar do not work- learn it and forget it; lack of transfer
Grammar overkill is a bad idea, but treating grammar like a four-letter word is a worse idea
You can’t apply what you don’t understand- we must explicitly teach the skills
DOLs do not provide the fundamental grammar skills students need to know
“Fun” programs are not any more effective than traditional drill and kill

Daily Grammar Practice (DGP)
One sentence per week Different tasks each day
Monday- parts of speech Tuesday- sentence parts and phrases Wednesday- identified clauses, sentence
type, and sentence purpose Thursday- punctuation, capitalization Friday- diagramming (for us it will be a quiz)
![Page 6: I DON’T NEED TO NO KNOW GRAMMAR Oh, but you do…. Why? We must develop a common lingo If your students know and understand the lingo, you can tell them.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022080905/56649db65503460f94aa7bcd/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why the Process Works
Less is more. They really take these sentences apart and understand every aspect of them. Thinking is required!
Concepts are revisited on a daily basis so that they aren’t forgotten
Students never work with isolated skills. The organization of DGP allows students to see how all concepts connect
The sentences they’re working with aren’t just random sentences. They’re intentionally loaded with specific concepts at specific times. They start simple and get increasingly difficult. Concepts that students should have mastered at their grade level appear in early sentences and appear often. More difficult concepts appear later.

How to Get Started
Give students a pre-assessment (it’s provided in your book)
Teach students how to organize their information Teach mini-lessons for each day (I do) before
releasing students to complete their warm-up Review the correct answers each day and allow
time for students to reflect on what they understand and what they need to improve on each day
Create small groups based on student reflections as you see need to do so
![Page 8: I DON’T NEED TO NO KNOW GRAMMAR Oh, but you do…. Why? We must develop a common lingo If your students know and understand the lingo, you can tell them.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022080905/56649db65503460f94aa7bcd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
DGP Routine
Build expectations in your classroom about what DGP time looks like in your classroom
Make sure it is structured to be your warm-up
Do not do an extensive review at the beginning of implementation. Students will learn as they go and will have “help pages” to refer to in addition to your daily “I do” instruction around the learning
Have students reflect on their strengths and weaknesses in their notebooks each day
![Page 9: I DON’T NEED TO NO KNOW GRAMMAR Oh, but you do…. Why? We must develop a common lingo If your students know and understand the lingo, you can tell them.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022080905/56649db65503460f94aa7bcd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
My Routine
Students will be expected to have their DGP warm-up notebook out and on their desk when the bell rings. Students who do not have their notebooks out will be docked points for the day.
I will point out (have listed on the board) the specific notes students will need to refer to in order to complete their exercise for the day
Students will independently complete the daily exercise
![Page 10: I DON’T NEED TO NO KNOW GRAMMAR Oh, but you do…. Why? We must develop a common lingo If your students know and understand the lingo, you can tell them.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022080905/56649db65503460f94aa7bcd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
My Routine
I will think aloud/write the correct way to complete the exercise
Students will be expected to write the correct example below their own practice
Students will be expected to write 2-3 sentences explaining/reflecting on what they do/don’t understand
![Page 11: I DON’T NEED TO NO KNOW GRAMMAR Oh, but you do…. Why? We must develop a common lingo If your students know and understand the lingo, you can tell them.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022080905/56649db65503460f94aa7bcd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Hint
At the top of each teach page for each week there are teaching points for the week: Example- (week one) review predicate
nominatives, interrogative nominatives, and nouns of direct address. Discuss the difference between adverbial and adjectival prepositional phrases. Talk about the difference between your and you’re.

Introducing it to Students
Require all students to have a DGP notebook
In the beginning of the notebook, have students staple in the daily notes
Provide students with a model of how to set up their page (see handout)
Provide students with a copy of the marking guide to place in their notebooks as well

Planning
Create a calendar for implementing DGP Design how it will look in your classroom Begin writing formative/summative
assessments for DGP Write down possible concerns about
implementing DGP in the parking lot
