MUG Shots - Daily Grammar
The MUG Shots are our daily grammar exercises. I put the sentences on the board, and the students take the first few minutes of class to write the original sentence and then a corrected version on their worksheet.
There are 5 sentences in each set. We always take the quiz on the 6th day. The quiz consists of a paragraph with similar mistakes as they have seen throughout the week. I tell them how many mistakes there are, and the types of mistakes to be found are listed at the top of the quiz sheet.
My suggestions:
1. Use the MUG Shot daily sheets to review for the quiz.
2. When reviewing, know what changes were made and why. (The mistakes aren't always exactly the same, but often require a similar application of editing.)
3. Use the types of mistakes listed at the top of the quiz as a checklist.
4. Use your resources. (Other than cheating off of someone else's paper, I do not care that you use your resources. A dictionary is a great tool if something doesn't seem right.)
At the beginning of each section, I will post the MUG Shot sentences here. They are also kept on my board as usual, so you have access in a couple places if you are absent or want extra practice.
