Make the Most of Those Teachable Moments!
This punctuation review activity provides the perfect opportunity to revisit and reteach key punctuation concepts that your students have learned during their primary school journey. Don’t be tempted to rush through the presentation – each answer slide provides the perfect opportunity to delve deeper into the incorrect responses. Ask your students question, such as:
- Where is the punctuation placed in the sentence?
- What do you notice about this choice?
- What punctuation would we expect to see here instead?
-
Which punctuation rule does this option break?
-
How is this option different from the correct answer?
Taking the opportunity to analyse correct and incorrect punctuation use in the answer options supports deeper learning, which, in turn, increases the likelihood that your students will transfer these skills into their own writing.
