How to Use This Editing Celebrity Grammar Activity:

This resource can be used in several flexible ways:

• Celebrity Grammar Edit of the Week: Introduce one grammar assignment card to your class each week for 20 weeks. Everyone receives a copy and makes edits and explanations independently (or in pairs or groups). Then use the PowerPoint slides to review the edits together as a class and come to a consensus.
• Grammar Writing Centers: Place a packet of grammar activities at a writing center where students can choose which posts to edit. Edits can be completed in a writing notebook rather than on the worksheet, reducing the need for extra copies. You can also provide an answer key booklet for students to check their work once finished.
• Pair or Group Work: Give each pair or small group a grammar activity to complete together. Each group can then present the post to the class, explain the edits they made, and invite additional suggestions from classmates.
