A great activity for higher ability children or those who are confident using commas.
The starter activity reminds children of all the different uses.
The mian activity uses an extract from The Maze Runner. All the commas have been removed - children need to put them in the right place. There is a table showing children how any of each type is missing for support.
Answers included.
I have written part of a narrative with a science fiction theme that helps children to identify cohesive devices.
The first activity asks children (higher ability) to identify fronted adverbials, adverbs and adverbials phrases.
The other activities focus solely on fronted adverbials and are slightly differentiated. There is an extension activity underneath asking children to add fronted adverbials to sentences.
