Blended MUG Instruction

This instructional approach combines old school techniques with authentic writing tasks. Students analyze mentor sentences to generate rules and practice writing sentences with correct punctuation and capitalization. Assessment can be done through quizzes or other methods chosen by the teacher.

  1. Blended MUG Instruction Old School (Simulated) Meets Authentic (Integrated) (Based on the work of Kelly Gallagher, Jeff Anderson, and Judith Langer)

  2. Sentence of the week

  3. Day 1 SOW Rule: Complete Sentences What do you notice? Model Sentences • Jerry ate the pizza. • Mike and Lisa are happy. • Miguel was running in the race Correct punctuation Correct capitalization 3. Subject AND Verb What is the rule? Create 3 sentences that imitate the models.

  4. Day 2Identifying a subject and a verb • Michelle ate the ice cream. • Tom and Fernando are unhappy. • Marie was doing her homework. What do you notice? Imitate.

  5. Procedure Day 1: - Teacher provides three sentences that all contain the same editing feature. • Students copy all three sentences. • Below the sentences, students write “What do I notice?” • Students then make notes of the similarities between the three sentences. • Teacher reviews what students have written and affirms or corrects. • Students imitate this type of editing feature by writing three sentences on their own/in groups. • Teacher check students at random.

  6. Procedure Day 2: - Teacher provides warm up with additional sentences that use the same editing feature. • Students copy sentences. • Students imitate this type of editing feature by writing three sentences on their own/in groups. • Teacher check students at random.

  7. Procedure Day 3: • Teacher assesses students based on the sentence of the week (spiraling to past SoWs as the year goes on). • Assessment can look like a quiz (students can write their own sentence, write a paragraph using the sentence, or the teacher can dictate a sentence and the student must write it using the skill correctly), ticket out the door, or another method the teacher chooses.

  8. Keep in mind • Rules are generated, not given • Students generate rules by analyzing mentor sentences---they CAN do this, but they will need assistance and encouragement • Provide simulated practice throughout the week • Authentic writing task serves as summative assessment---points are only awarded if SoW feature is highlighted. • As instruction progresses, additional conventions can be included in authentic task. • Assessment can take place during instruction utilizing a quick check approach or embedded in snapshot.
