A collection of rhetorical question sentence starters to be used as a handout or poster. These sentence stems provide scaffolding to help pupils write rhetorical questions.
A rhetorical question is a question asked in order to create a dramatic effect or to make a point rather than to get an answer. It is a literary device often used to persuade the audience.
This vocabulary bank is particularly useful for planning and completing persuasive writing texts, such as adverts, debates, speeches and persuasive letters. Rhetorical questions can also be found in other text types such as instructions, diaries and stories.
This document contains examples of rhetorical question sentence stems. The rhetorical question stem list can be used to help to understand this literary device, to identify rhetorical questions within texts and to use rhetorical questions in writing.

Two activities involving identifying correct and incorrect use of colons. Pupils must look carefully at the sentences to check if the colons have been put in the correct place for a variety of sentences.
There are two activities provided:
Colon Cards/Quiz: pupils sort the cards into correct and incorrect piles. Great for paired or small group work. Large and small cards are provided, plus a presentation to use to go through the answers or to use as a whole class quiz.
Colon Worksheet: pupils identify whether the colons are correctly punctuating the sentences, and then make any necessary corrections; identify different types of colon usage; add missing colons to sentences and write sentences using colons. Great as an independent task. This worksheet uses different examples to the cards/quiz.
Different ways of using colons are demonstrated, including:
• Using a colon to introduce a list
• Using a colon to separate related main clauses where the second clause explains the first clause
• Using a colon to emphasise a word or phrase
Answers to all tasks are included.

Two activities involving identifying correct and incorrect use of semi-colons. Pupils must look carefully at the sentences to check if the semi-colons have been put in the correct place for a variety of sentences.
There are two activities provided:
✽ Semi-Colon Cards/Quiz: pupils sort the cards into correct and incorrect piles. Great for paired or small group work. Large and small cards are provided, plus a presentation to use to go through the answers or to use as a whole class quiz.
✽ Semi-Colon Worksheet: pupils identify whether the semi-colons are correctly punctuating the sentences, and then make any necessary corrections; identify different types of semi-colon usage; add missing semi-colons to sentences and write sentences using semi-colons. Great as an independent task. This worksheet uses different examples to the cards/quiz.
Different ways of using semi-colons are demonstrated, including:
• Using a semi-colon to separate items in a complex list
• Using a semi-colon to separate related main clauses
• Using a semi-colon with a conjunctive adverb
Answers to all tasks are included.
All documents available as easily editable Word or Powerpoint documents and as PDFs.
These activities are particularly suitable for years 5 or 6.
