Our school wanted to get all the English teachers teaching grammar and in a way that was consistent with each other. So the program Daily Grammar Practice was chosen. It's not a bad program. I like the way I taught grammar better because it was more my style, but it is nice knowing that we are all working toward the same process.
If your school uses DGP, you may find that students feel a little overwhelmed with everything that could possibly be labeled on Monday and Tuesday. I find that by providing some structure and creating a pattern for what to look for, students are able to process it faster and soon will be able to do it without constantly looking at notes. That's the key to grammar practice - students can recognize it in the wild.
If you want to give it a shot, try it out. You can get it here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16m2uuAc4SfNrD-SPqY7WobWJbycEpACzYkpzOq-SpWc/copy
I just made it and haven't classroom tested it long enough to find everything that could be tweaked. If you have comments on how to make it better, please share them with me either on this post or by shooting me an email.
