Daily Paragraph Editing - Grade 7 - Evan-Moor

Daily Paragraph Editing, Grade 7 provides 36 weeks of frequent, focused language practice to help your seventh graders learn the conventions of standard English grammar and usage. The concise daily activities are ideal "warm-up" exercises to begin your language arts block and are adaptable for small-group and whole-class instruction.

How it works: students apply grade-level language skills to correct a paragraph on Monday through Thursday; when read together, the four paragraphs form a cohesive composition. A writing prompt on Friday relates to the week's four-paragraph composition and gives students the chance to apply the targeted language conventions.

The weekly compositions cover a broad range of expository and narrative writing forms, including:
nonfiction texts on grade-level social studies and science topics

• biographies, book reviews, instructions, interviews, journal entries, and letters
• fables, fantasy and science fiction, historical fiction, personal narratives,
  and realistic fiction

Daily Paragraph Editing grade 7 covers grade-level skills such as:

• Capitalization
• quotations, salutations, and closings
• Language Usage
• singular and plural forms
• Punctuation
• apostrophes
• Spelling
• identifying errors in spelling and in multiple-meaning words
