BULLET POINTS AND ELLIPSES - PUNCTUATION: UNIT LESSON PLAN

This Unit Lesson Plan is perfect for teaching Punctuation – Bullet Points and Ellipses. 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 lesson students will be able to:

• Consider the functions of bullet points and ellipses to identify the signs that exemplify the punctuation marks in a text.
• List the similarities and the differences between bullet points and ellipses.
• Apply punctuation rules to identify the appropriate use of bullet points and ellipses in a text.
• Use bullet points to list unordered series of items; to give the reader information quickly; and to simplify big chunks of writing.
• Use ellipses to indicate an omission from the text; and to show hesitation or an interruption.
• Demonstrate command of the conventions of Standard English punctuation – bullet points and ellipses – 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
• As holiday work and homework
• For small group collaborations
• For an end of unit assessments
• For reinforcement and enrichment
