Grammar

Grammar describes how a student becomes increasingly proficient at creating written texts with higher levels of grammatical accuracy. Students display an increasing ability to compose both coherent and cohesive texts across all areas of the curriculum for a wide range of purposes, making more sophisticated choices at the level of the whole text, the sentence and the word group level.

Make learning visible in your classroom with this Australian Curriculum aligned 'bump it up' pack.

Included in this resource:

7 colour display posters..  Each poster contains one level of grammar and is split into subtopics. There are total of 7 Grammar levels in this progression and up to 4 subtopic.  Posters have relevant information for the student to obtain each level. Wording is written in terms that students will become familiar with the more they use the resource and could be pre-taught. Each checklist in the level begins with "I am learning to".

A teacher record book. All levels are set out in an easy to read table to allow teachers to mark off where students are at. Each level checklist has space for 10 student names). A corresponding page is also included with space for a further 25 students. It is intended that these will be bound in a format with checklist on the right and students on the left. All levels are included. 3 different covers are included for this book: full colour, low colour and black/white version.

A student achievement record. It is intended for these pages to be printed as a booklet to allow students easy access to the skills throughout the year or during assessment times. I have included a skill checklist and a space to write how students will aim to achieve this skill. The 'achieved' column can be used to tick or date as needed. This booklet could be used during interviews, kept in portfolios for the year and passed on to the teacher for the student’s next year of schooling.
