COMMAS: LESSON PRESENTATION

This PowerPoint Presentation is perfect for teaching Punctuation – Commas and Inverted Commas. These no prep activities would be great for ELA lessons or ELA centers. Your students will love these ready to use exercises that are well planned for student engagement.

After attempting these New Bloom’s Taxonomy-based Google Slides students will be able to:

• Consider the functions of commas and inverted commas to identify the signs that exemplify the punctuation marks in a text.
• List the similarities and the differences between commas and inverted commas.
• Apply punctuation rules to identify the appropriate use of commas and inverted commas in a text.
• Use commas to separate elements in a series; to clarify meaning; to mark fronted adverbials; to mark transition words; to introduce an introductory statement before a quote; to mark the end of quote within inverted commas; to separate two independent clauses; and to introduce an introductory subordinate clause.
• Use inverted commas to mark quoted speech or direct speech and to enclose titles of minor works.
• Demonstrate command of the conventions of Standard English punctuation – commas and inverted commas – when writing.

Here are some other possible uses for these in your classroom:

• To challenge early finishers
• For effective tutoring
• As ESL stations and sub tubs
