The story is a fun look at middle school, told from the perspective of an 8th grader. This is Unit 10 of 10 Units.

The slide shows and worksheets allow students to practice and develop their proofreading and conventions skills. The assessment reinforces guided note-taking techniques when used in conjunction with the PowerPoints. The detailed lesson plans make implementing conventions practice and proofreading techniques easy for teachers.

These lessons are adaptable for in-class instruction, distance learning, or independent student work. The PowerPoints can be presented as whole class instruction or assigned for students to complete at home.

All materials are available in both Google Drive™ and print formats, ensuring easy access for all students.
