Just a dozen a day and Grammar Rulz!
The idea is simple: Students must find and correct a dozen errors in daily-starter exercises. Four, six-week-long units feature historical periods familiar to middle-school students – from ancient Egypt to Viking times.
Pre-formatted SMART™ Notebook and Mimio® files allow you to engage and focus middle-school students with these unique grammar bell-ringers – designed to provide you with a fast, fun, and flexible way to teach basic writing conventions!
Each daily exercise takes as little as three minutes and provides a new vocabulary word and authentic practice for spelling, capitalization, punctuation, grammar, and usage plus an optional extension activity. Easy-to-grade unit quizzes provide built-in assessment.
Grammar Rulz works with any classroom! Use it:
- In social studies/language arts classes or during stand-alone language-arts instruction.
- With any level of technology. Ready-to-go PDFs and whiteboard files give you the power to display and correct the daily exercises using multimedia projectors or interactive whiteboards. You can also use Grammar Rulz with an overheard projector, dry-erase board, or chalkboard.
Additional CD files give you a bonus story unit; Grammar Rulz Express packets with two exercises per page for an even faster and easier correction method; printable illustrations of story characters, proofreading and punctuation posters, spelling lists, and middle-school writing standards; and helpful videos on how to use Grammar Rulz with interactive whiteboard software.

Introduction and sample lesson
Raves
"This book/CD-ROM provides brief daily exercises, organized by four six-week units, asking students to find and correct 12 grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors in short selections on historical periods. The exercises can work just as well using old-fashioned worksheets or chalkboard, or using the resources found on the CD-ROM: preformatted SMART Notebook files, Mimio interactive whiteboard files, PDF files for a multimedia projector, and black line masters to make transparencies for an overhead projector. The CD-ROM also includes a bonus story unit, reproducible express packets with two exercises per page, and a printable sheet of proofreading symbols, as well as printable illustrations of story characters, spelling lists, flashcards, and a video on how to use the exercise with interactive whiteboard software. Ortman is a veteran middle school language arts and social studies teacher."
