Official tools, from the Mayor's desk to your classroom.

From the desk of the Mayor

Skills for teachers of Grades 1 through 8: a pacing guide and a lesson planner, a daily sentence and exit tickets, and a prewriting toolkit and writing rubrics, plus a connection to the current Grammaropolis catalog. Add them to ChatGPT or Claude. There's no Grammaropolis account to make. Put the whole town to work.

The Mayor of Grammaropolis

Issued by the Mayor's office

What's in the kit

Both plugins include every skill below. They know about each other, too: the lesson planner can offer an exit ticket for its Assess step, and a week of daily sentences can end with one.

Plan

Plan the year, then the lesson

Pacing guide

The Mayor's calendar for your grammar year

What it does

Give it a grade, your standards, and your school calendar, and it plans the year week by week: which topic each week teaches, the exact standards that week covers, and how. Topics land after the ones they build on and before your state test, with spiral review and checkpoints along the way. It ends with a coverage check that shows its math and a copy-ready version for Google Sheets. Common Core and Texas TEKS are built in; other states get matched to Common Core and labeled for you to verify.

What it does not do

It plans across weeks for Grades 1 through 8. It won't write the day's lesson, a quiz, or a rubric, and it cites a standard only for a week that actually teaches it.

Works with the catalog connector
Lesson planner

Plan a lesson with the Mayor

What it does

Name a topic, a standard, or just a grade and a general idea, and it builds one complete lesson: a character-led hook, the full Learn, Assess, Practice, Create, and Certified cycle, the real standard cited, and a materials list, sized to one class period. Common Core codes are built in, Texas TEKS codes are looked up through the catalog connector, and other states are matched to Common Core.

What it does not do

It plans English language arts lessons for Grades 1 through 8, one lesson at a time. It doesn't grade student work, build rubrics, or give essay feedback.

Every day

Warm up, then check what stuck

Daily sentence

Five minutes a day with the character who owns the rule

What it does

Ask for a sentence of the day, a fix-it sentence, or a bell ringer, and it writes a five-minute warm-up: a mentor sentence to notice or a flawed one to fix, a short prompt from the character who owns that rule, and a key with a one-line why for every answer. Ask for a week, and it builds from noticing the rule on Monday to using it in students' own sentences on Friday.

What it does not do

It covers Grades 1 through 8. It won't grade students' sentences, write a full lesson, or build a vocabulary word list.

Works with the catalog connector
Exit tickets

A quick check that tells you what to reteach

What it does

Name a grade and a topic or a standard, and it writes an exit ticket of three to five items or a short quiz of up to ten, opened by the character who owns the topic. The separate answer key gives the rule behind each answer, the standard each item checks, and what each wrong answer reveals, so you know what to reteach. Bring back the class's results, and it'll help you read them.

What it does not do

It covers Grades 1 through 8. It won't grade or comment on individual students, write a unit test, or build a spelling test.

Writing

Before the draft, and after it

Prewriting toolkit

Eight Mayor-approved prewriting techniques

What it does

Give it a grade and, if you have one, your class's own story, and it runs that single story through all eight Grammaropolis prewriting techniques. Because every technique starts with the same story, students see how one set of material becomes eight different starting points. You get worked examples with teacher framing, or a script to perform live.

What it does not do

It works one grade at a time, Grades 1 through 8, and it produces worked examples and a demonstration script, not a graded assignment or finished student essays.

Writing rubrics

Writing rubrics straight from the desk of the Mayor

What it does

Name a writing mode, persuasive, narrative, descriptive, and four more, plus a grade, and it builds a complete rubric in the Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Not Yet format, scored in the Mayor's own voice. Every category is calibrated to the grade and aligned to a CCSS writing standard, with an optional "Before You Turn It In" student self-check.

What it does not do

It covers Grades 1 through 8 and builds rubrics for a paragraph, not for a multi-paragraph essay or a research paper. It won't grade the writing or produce the student work itself.

Included in both plugins

Your assistant, connected to the catalog

Both plugins connect your assistant to the current Grammaropolis catalog, so plans are built on the real concepts and standards. When we add or update lessons, your assistant gets them without you reinstalling anything. The connection only reads. It never asks for an account or anything about your students.

Free lessons come back in full. Some answers also point to lessons that are part of a Grammaropolis subscription, with a link to each one on grammaropolis.com.

What your assistant can look up

list_pillars

See the five departments of the catalog: Parts of Speech, Punctuation, the Sentence Factory, the Writing Company, and Wonderful Words, each with its free Arcade games, no sign-in required.

list_lessons

Browse lessons by department, grade, or a topic in your own words.

get_lesson

Open one lesson. One whole lesson in each department is free at every grade and comes back complete; any other comes back as the details plus a link to the lesson on grammaropolis.com. It never hands paid lesson content to your assistant.

find_lessons_for_standard

Find every Grammaropolis lesson that teaches a Common Core or Texas TEKS standard, and the ones that touch it without teaching all of it.

about_grammaropolis

A quick tour of the town, the Mayor, and how the teaching cycle works.

Better together

The skills use the catalog on their own. The pacing guide, lesson planner, and exit tickets check a topic's grades and free lessons against it, the writing rubrics link each rubric to its Writing Company lesson, and the lesson planner, exit tickets, daily sentence, and writing rubrics look up Texas TEKS codes through it.

Where these come from

Each skill draws on the Grammaropolis catalog: Parts of Speech, the Punctuation Department, the Sentence Factory, The Writing Company, and Wonderful Words, Grades 1 through 8. The same five departments are behind our print workbooks and our free lessons at grammaropolis.com.
