MUG Shot Sentences
Implementation
and Evaluation
There are 35 weeks of daily MUG Shot sentences. The students may use the
“Editing and Proofreading Marks” in Write Source or on page iv of this book to make
corrections.
Implementation
On the days that you use MUG Shot sentences, we suggest that you write one or
two of them on the board at the beginning of the class period. Allow students time to
read each sentence to themselves. (Make sure they understand the sentences.) Then
have students correct each MUG Shot in a space reserved for them in their notebooks
(or on a copy of the “MUG Shot Sentence Organizer” provided on page 2 of this book).
Next, have students discuss their corrections in pairs or as a class. Make sure everyone
records the corrections on their papers. And, more importantly, make sure all students
understand why the corrections were made.
You may also have students correct the sentences orally. Write the corrections
on the board as students provide them. (Use the proofreading marks on page iv.)
Have one student explain his or her corrections and discuss the results. Then ask all
students to write the corrected form in their notebooks.
Each Friday, review the MUG Shots covered for the week. You might assign the
MUG Shot paragraph that contains errors similar to the type students have worked
on for the week. (See page 75.) Note: By design, each page of sentences can be reproduced for student use or made
into an overhead transparency.
Evaluation
If you assign sentences daily, evaluate your students’ work at the end of each
week. We recommend that you give them a basic performance score for their daily
work. This performance score might be based on having each sentence for that week
correctly written in their language arts notebooks (before or after any discussion). You can also use the weekly paragraphs to evaluate student progress. The
paragraphs cover the same kinds of errors as the sentences, so students should be
able to cover a good percentage of these errors.
