What might a complete Grammarlogues lesson look like?

(We'll use pronouns as our example.)

DAY 1: The teacher opens the class with the Pronouns Teaching Slide. Students write down the contents of the slide and the teacher facilitates a brief dialogue around pronouns. The literary examples model pronoun usage and expose your students on a daily basis to great pieces of literature. (By peeling back the layers of complexity in a given literary example, each slide can accommodate an introductory explanation or an advanced investigation of the grammar concept.)

DAY 2: The teacher opens the class with the Pronouns Practice Slide of Grammarlogues. As part of their homework, students are asked to notice the role pronouns play--or fail to play--in tonight's reading assignment.

DAY 3: The "grammarlogue" for the day is a dialogue around what students uncovered around pronouns during their homework. For instance, were they most confused where pronouns were most prevalent? As part of tonight's homework, students are assigned an online pronoun practice set. (The teacher can choose the practice set's level of difficulty.)

DAY 4: The "grammarlogue" for the day is a dialogue around the statistics emailed to the teacher: Which question did the students miss most frequently? Why? Have the few students who got the question right come to the front and teach the class. This will help to create an atmosphere where students see their peers as informational resources. Complement the students' teaching by inquiring further into the example: Why, for instance, did the author craft his/her sentence in such a manner? What effect(s) did it create? Consider having the students model the author's style in tonight's writing assignment.
