CUMULATIVE GRAMMAR FOLDABLE 2014
Your project this week is to create a culminating grammar study guide that will help you to review all concepts we have studied this year in grammar. It will also be a great aid to use next year as you continue to study grammar concepts. These are the basics of learning how to write, and you will get a great review while creating this foldable. You will have every day this week to work on this project, and it is due next Monday, May 12th in case you need the weekend to finish.

You must write the correct definition of each of the terms and provide a CORRECT example of that concept. Each concept must also be in the form of a foldable glued and/or stapled on the folder. You can use my colored paper or your own paper if you bring it to school.

For every three items you complete, you MUST bring it to me and have it checked off before adding it to your foldable. This is to ensure correctness. So, get creative and enjoy creating this invaluable tool for studying for your nine weeks test. 
