This lesson is designed to teach/ reteach KS2 children about the basic punctuation marks and when they should be used. I wrote it for a KS2 class who persistently forgot to punctuate their work accurately, which was undermining their progress in other areas of writing. We were learning about Ancient Greeks at the time and hence this is the theme throughout the lesson. The punctuation marks covered are: -Full stops -Exclamation marks -Question marks -Speech marks -Commas For each punctuation mark, children learn how and when they should use it and are shown an example. They are then given an opportunity to show their understanding by applying the punctuation mark in a descriptive sentence, using a picture stimulus. At the end of the session, children are given the opportunity to use all of the punctuation marks in a descriptive paragraph. A model example and a success criteria are included. I have also included a scaffolded sheet that I used for the inclusion of some of the lower-achieving learners in the class. I hope this helps. Enjoy!
