D.O.L (Daily Oral Language)
Purpose:  Daily Oral Language provides students the opportunity to verbally identify mistakes in punctuation, spelling, and grammar in writing.  Sentences are written on the board, and students identify the corrections that need to be made.  This time is also used to identify editing marks that can be used on sloppy copies.

In our class, we will complete DOL activities weekly (so we could change the title to WOL!)
