In My Classroom:

I used the hands-on activity with my 4th and 5th graders as test prep for next week's end of year state test. Students paired up and each pair received one sentence, a name card, and punctuation marks. We practiced placing the name at the beginning and end of the sentence, correctly punctuating the sentence. Everyone read their sentence aloud, including stating the punctuation marks. For example: Sam comma please bring me my laptop question mark. Then, each pair decided where they could insert the name in the middle of the sentence. We tore the sentence strips in half, inserted the name, and properly punctuated it. Once our initial hands-on mini-lesson was done, the pairs completed the Scoot activity. As they moved from card to card, they discussed the sentence and recorded it on their worksheets, making sure to focus on fixing the punctuation and capitalization errors. Once everyone was done, I displayed the answer key on the board, so we could check our work.
