Punctuation For LifePunctuation: the marks we put with our written words to show stops, pauses, who said what and how...what's missing and who things belong to - basically. Teaching full-stops and commas, question marks and exclamation marks is pretty straightforward. But when it comes to the apostrophe...! And then there's the ellipses, the parentheses, semi-colons, tildas...what's really the right way? You probably know how to USE these marks...but how about teaching them? Introducing Punctuation For Life - A Teacher's Guide to Making Punctuation EasyIn this two-hour workshop, learn ten lessons that guide you from simple to complex conventions.Suitable for ages 5 upwards. Content: Basic marks, including full stops, commas between items in a list, exclamation marks and questions marks. Commas to mark a clause, apostrophes in contractions and to show ownership, and speech marks for direct speech.
Graphic elements and/or headings and subheadings to organise presentations, research or other information. Paragraphs to order and sequence arguments. Semicolons and colons in extended lists. All fully scripted with fun activities and real literature to support each lesson.
