2. Essential Question
How important is grammar usage in
education? In the “real world?”
It is important for students to understand the
subtleties of language to know how a
particular turn of phrase can connote to
audiences a host of unstated points, and to be
aware that their writing is going to be
judged as a reflection of their intelligence
and ability in (ECA) and out of school.

3. SWBAT:
use prior knowledge and experiences to examine
common errors in grammar

5. Grammar Reminders via Infographics
Why are we doing this?

grammar.

6. Identify
Think About…
Whether we like it or not, powerful people make
value judgments about other people’s intelligence
based on language use. Young writers and
speakers must learn that the forms of language
they choose will be judged, sometimes harshly, by
their audiences, and their ability to appear
intelligent will be affected by their audiences’
opinions of their language choices.
