In class we completed grammar worksheets and talked about the grammar requirements for the Embedded Assessment paper:
I have paragraphs. I started a new paragraph each time I began a new thought.
I only capitalized letters that begin sentences or name a proper noun.
I always capitalized I because I am important.
I used THERE, THEY’RE, and THEIR correctly
There is no way I’m going to put their books in my looker. They’re crazy!
I used IT and IT’S correctly.
It isn’t my fault it’s cold in here.
I used TO, TWO, and TOO correctly.
I’m going TO walk TO the store for TWO gallons of milk. Do you want TO come, TOO?
THERE ARE NO FRAGMENTS IN MY PAPER. I have read it aloud one time and stopped and after each sentence, listening to make sure my thoughts are complete.
I did not use made up words (gonna, wanna, shoulda) and I didn’t use third grader words (stuff, good, bad, a lot)
I used a variety of sentence structures. Some sentences are short, while others are long. My paper does not sound like a sing songy list.
I punctuated all direct quotation marks correctly.
Mrs. Bennett scolded, “I can’t believe you weren’t paying attention in class!”
I did not use WAS, IS, BE, SHOULD, HAVE more than once per paragraph. Instead, I used active verbs.
She is a teacher. NO! YES! She works as a teacher.
