This FREE no-prep punctuation resource makes reviewing ending marks into fun by using JOKES for both the mentor texts and the practice exercises. Practicing periods, question marks and exclamation points will prompt chuckles rather than moans! Please note that the resource is in a Zip file which has to be unzipped for you to access the contents.
The resource consists of:
a colorful 21 slide PowerPoint, explaining the rules of periods, exclamation points & question marks (with joke examples, of course.)
four pages of jokes exercises (totaling 30 jokes)
four pages of answers AND
a three page student handout summarizing the rules explained in the PowerPoint.
After your students have enjoyed the vibrant PowerPoint and chuckled while doing the exercises, you can set writing pieces without fear! If students forget any of the rules, they can consult their handy rules summary. Everything is explained to the students in the slideshow and the sheets; a substitute with little experience of ELA could run the class!
This resource includes how to use end marks in dialogue, and so will be of particular use if you intend to do any creative writing with your students soon. FOR MORE DIALOGUE FUN SEE: PUNCTUATION DIALOGUE PRESENTATION & EXERCISES USING JOKES
