PUNCTUATION PRACTICE: Writing
Room 6 is learning to write stories using correct punctuation. Each week we focus on a new type of punctuation. In our class we should be using fullstops (.) and capitals (CAPS), question marks (?), ellipse (...), apostrophes (') and speech marks ( " " ). Today there were eight children who indicated that they were getting better at using their punctuation marks in their writing. To practice, children have written a POOR BOB story to show how they can use exclamation marks. Their stories were only allowed to be up to 100 word. Check out our individual blogs for the stories the class came up with.
Here is Mr Corlett's example
17.8.15
WALT use exclamation marks in our writing
Bob stumbled towards the stairs, wiping the sleep from his eyes. Bang! Crash! Poor Bob. He began tumbling, his discarded clothes from the night before wrapped around his ankles."Ahh! Help! Ouch! Owww! Ugh! @##*@! Waa!" he yelled as he fell, hitting every step as he fell.
"Wheee-eee! Wheee-eee!" came the sound of the ambulance as he slowly regained consciousness.
