Hi! I’m new here.
New to Fishbowl?

The only thing I’ve actually seen work is to apply the skill of the week to a writing piece they would be doing anyway and dedicating points to it.
For example: if students practiced using infinitives and they are writing their weekly journal or essay question on the weekly story, you can let them know you are grading for their use of infinitives. Once they learn a skill out of context (grammar worksheet), you can put it in the hat and then draw. Your journal entry will be graded for content & (previously learned skill).
Like you said, they get the skill, but they need opportunities & incentives to practice.
Totally agree. I often will add sentence combining to get a different kind of syntax manipulation.
As an elementary teacher I use error analysis a lot. I have them correct my purposeful incorrect writing or delete a name from student papers and we correct as a whole group. Usually those two methods help them pay more attention to grammar and apply it effectively.
As an elementary teacher, one part that I’m learning to emphasize more and more is getting students to analyze why a sentence is correct. We do mentor sentences and students spend more time looking at a well-written, correct sentence. Then it makes writing the corrections later so much better and when they write they are doing much better because they have seen it right more.
