-ACA Task: 

*************************

Big Idea: Structures have interrelated parts

Or...
I take for granted people's poor grammar.
More specifically, how they're always thinking,
"For all intents and purposes"
is supposedly correct.

Essential Questions: How can questions help us improve our understanding?

Objectives: I can...
...choose a grammar topic and review it.
...ask questions to help classmates.
...plan for the rest of the semester. 

*************************

1) Warm Up: Final Grammar Warm Up (15 min)

1. Read through the different types of grammar exercises here.
2. Decide which topic to focus on by choosing one you remember struggling with OR by choosing one you've never heard of. Tell a neighbor what you are doing.
3. Complete as many questions as you can in 7 minutes.
4. Four-Minute Quick-write: What grammar rules did you practice using today? When does formal grammar matter? Why does it matter?

2) Lesson Plan Part 1: Tutorials (45 min)

1. Before Tutorials:
1. Take 5 minutes to finish your Tutorial, gather and revise related or other notes, or organize your binder.
2. During Tutorials:

1. Move into Tutorial groups (4-5 people).
2. Share your final concept rating (from your POC box) and determine your presentation orders.
3. The presenter will give a 30 second speech ending with their POC.
4. Group members will note questions asked and the presenter's work. One group member will take notes for the presenter.
5. When the presenter thinks they understand the POC, they'll summarize their steps. Group members will ask any follow up questions.
6. Repeat as time permits.
3. After Tutorials: 
1. Reflection questions: 
1. What kind of Tutorial did you do today and why?
2. Did you make the best use of your time today? Convince me in a point and example sentence. 
3. Answer in 3-4 sentences.
2. Debrief questions:
1. Think about the best TRF/thirty second speech you saw/heard today. Why was it effective?
2. What parts of a TRF are the easiest? Most challenging? Most frustrating?
