1
got grammar?

• A fun look at how grammar can affect written
  communication.

2
Why do we need to use correct grammar when
communicating with others?

• to give important facts or details
• to keep to the point instead of rambling
• to sound like the educated people we are
• to gain respect and earn trust

And in other news...

• There are many fun careers that await you in the
  future that will require you to communicate
  effectively in writing and speaking.
• We will look at sports casting and critiquing.

And the crowd goes wild!

• Sports casters give play-by-plays, recap games,
  and write articles for newspapers and magazines.
• Using correct grammar helps them to keep to the
  point and give the most important details of a
  game.
• Would you want to listen to or read something by
  someone who cant tell you
• who
• what
• when
• where
• why?

I give it two thumbs up.

• Critics write reviews or broadcast on news and
  radio programs.
• They get to attend
• concerts
• plays
• dance performances
• movies.
• They need to provide important information in a
  brief way so that others may decide for
  themselves to attend certain performances.
• They can be nasty or nice!

6
So what do I have to do?

• You get to have lots of fun pretending to be a
  critic or sportscaster!
• You have three important tasks
• create a Power Point presentation,
• create a poster/flier advertising your event,
• create a webpage so that others can see what else
  you have reviewed.
• Lets get it on!

Power Point

• After choosing your event and writing your
  review, you get to create a Power Point
  presentation.
• This is like on TV when the critic is talking but
  you are watching clips from the event!
• In your presentation you will identify the
  different parts of speech to show your grammar
  greatness!

Publisher

• You have to advertise to get someone interested
  in coming to your event, right?
• Now that you know what the most important details
  of your event are, you can make a poster or flier
  telling the most important details.
• Focus on your prepositions and make it attractive!

9
Web Page

• Important critics always get the chance to review
  lots of events.
• Show your stuff! Let others see what other
  work youve done.
• Give little bites or teasers about other
  events.

Is there an audition for this?

• The cool thing is you already know the basics
• nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs
• prepositions
• punctuation
• Now you get to choose something fun and tell all
  about it!

  and
