| DAILY GRAMS are
designed as a guided review. There are 180 "GRAMS in this book, one review per
teaching day. Concepts are spiraled so that students are reintroduced to them every 20-25
days. Bringing this information to the 'forefront' of one's memory helps to insure mastery
learning. Each lesson takes approximately 10 minutes; this includes completing
both the lesson and the grading. Explanations are offered frequently to ensure
understanding and mastery. |

| Daily
Grams Purpose And How To Use |
| The purpose of the Daily
Grams is to provide students with daily review of the English language. Bringing
this information to the ‘forefront’ of one’s memory will help to ensure mastery
learning. |
PROCEDURE:
1. Students should be
"trained" to do "GRAMS’ at the beginning of an English lesson. "GRAMS"
may be duplicated for each student, written on the chalkboard, or placed on an
overhead projector.
2. Students will finish at different rates. These
ideas are suggested:
A. Allow students to discuss answers with other
students. This is a form of cooperative learning.
B. Require students to have a reading book at
all times. Students simply read when finished.
C. Allow students "Three Minute
Conversations" when they have completed DAILY GRAMS. Students will select a
partner and discuss anything (within limits of school suitability). The requirement is
that all thoughts are expressed in complete sentences. Those who work faster will
have more time for this activity while others may have only a minute or two. The purpose,
however, is that everyone is ready to check "GRAMS" at the same time.
3. Go over the answers orally with the entire
class. Make this a discussion time, a teaching time, and a review time. In making students
accountable for this type of activity, you may wish to take a grade occasionally. |

| FORMAT
You will note that each page is set up in this
manner:
1. Sentence one will always contain capitalization
errors. Encourage students to write any words that should be capitalized.
2. In sentence two of each exercise, students
will insert needed punctuation. It is suggested that students write out this
sentence, adding proper punctuation.
3. Sentences three and four will be general
review. You may want to replace one of these items with material you are currently
teaching.
4. Sentence five is always sentence
combining. Using the sentences given, students will write one, more intricate
sentence. This helps the student move to higher levels of writing. If you feel that the
sentences given are too difficult for your level. simply delete parts. You may wish to
compose your own. You have been given at least one possible answer. Needless to say, there
are more. |
