Caught+'Ya

Caught ‘ya! Grammar Ø Grammar can be fun, right? Of course it can!! I challenge you to complete each of these daily exercises to the best of your ability and we both will see if I can say, “Caught ya!” Ø When you score 100% on your weekly caught ‘ya sheet, your name will be entered into a monthly drawing. Prizes will be different each time. Don’t worry if you think you stink at grammar! The point is to improve each time. Everyone is capable of making a 100%** ; the key is to be consistent and careful with each of your daily entries. **   Ø When you enter class each day, get started immediately on the caught ‘ya listed on the Overhead projector or the board. Make sure to correct all errors that you find as you are writing it down. Don’t worry if you miss something; we will correct all mistakes. Ø Speaking of missing something: You will need a different color pen for making corrections in your caught ya that you may have missed when you worked independently. We will be focusing on the trait of conventions here, so I want you to get a feel for common errors; this way you will looking for these when you conference. Ø Each week I will be collecting five daily corrected exercises to grade. I will be checking for the following things:  · Your name  · Full date written out underneath  · A two to four word title centered  · A fairly even margin on the left and the right side of the page  · Use of different colors for corrections  · Number of caught ‘ya errors indicated and circled in the left hand margin.  · Notes next to corrections you make (if needed)  · All five Caught ‘yas on the same sheet of paper You will need to follow the above format. This will all be graded (pay attention so you can earn that 100%!) In the following space, write down the example that I have on the board.
