Tell a neighbor about a book you love.
Is it because the punctuation is divine? The capitalization knocks your socks off?
What is it that makes you love it?
It's not enough to be right. It has to be rich!
Composition often outpaces conventions.
Students MUST see the relevance of the conventions, so if you teach them together, they can attach their learning to something and see the purpose.
I think that the conventions are like the transmission in your car. You don't notice it until it doesn't work.
Turn & Talk - Could you use that in your classroom?
It's everyone's test.
We're all teaching it. How do we make it stick?
The application of conventions is crucial!
Tightly align your instruction to your TEKS and give them MULTIPLE opportunities for practice.
Look at the PAs in TEKS Resource System
Cross curricular lessons = more ELAR grades & fewer papers to grade
Winning!!
Aligned?
Turn & talk about that worksheet...
Tear off the threats portion - We can't do anything about those!

Convention Check
When doing this with students you can give them the convention and challenge them to use it in their writing. They earn points for every time they do it correctly.
