What do Grade 9 Writing & Grammar lessons look like?

The grammar lessons typically begin with a Practice the Skill exercise (and sometimes also a Review the Skill exercise) to provide scaffolding for understanding. Many grammar lessons end with a Use the Skill exercise, a short writing assignment that provides a journal entry or real-world opportunity to use a grammar skill. Writing chapters help students apply grammar skills to their writing, review the writing process, and practice writing in a variety of genres.

Writing Projects:

  • Description: brochure, creative writing, list poem, comparison/contrast presentation, writing about the future
  • Exposition: essay answer, historical research essay, informative article, research paper
  • Narration: narrative essay, oral history, memoir, film script
  • Persuasion: persuasive essay, opinion piece, book review
  • Personal Communication: letter to the “you” of the future, business letter, business email
