Learning Activity:

The students will listen to the teacher read the interactive book "Punctuation Takes a Vacation"by Robin Pulver.

Throughout the reading, the teacher should exaggerate how the sentences are read without their punctuation to get students engaged.

# data[].attributes.body
Learning Activity:

The students will be sent into their pre-assigned collaborative groups and complete the module that explores sentences without punctuation on Quill.org.

The students will collaborate with one another or work individually to determine what punctuation the sentence is missing and write/type sentences they hear read aloud during the module.

As students work with their group, the teacher will roam the class and gather information on student thinking and utilize their various thought processes during the "explain" phase.

Learning Activity:

Once the students finish the sheet with their thoughts, we will come back together as a class to fill in the blanks on why punctuation is important and when we can identify which sentences utilize which punctuation marks.

The teacher will write sentences on the board without punctuation marks. Then, the teacher will say the sentence aloud to the class with specific inflections such as using an excited inflection for exclamatory.

After an example is given of each sentence, have the class rejoin their collaborative groups and categorize the sentences into their respective groups such as putting the sentence "Where is the cat?" and placing it into the category they believe it would fit into such as declarative, interrogative, or exclamatory.

We will come back together and make an anchor chart of our findings and explanations.

Learning Activity:

After we categorize what the different sentences look like with correct punctuation, the teacher will introduce the readers theatre.

The teacher will call a volunteer to join them at the front of the class. Each person gets a "script" full of sentences that include declarative, interrogative, and exclamatory sentences.

The teacher and volunteer will model how the readers theatre should be done before sending students off with their pre-assigned partners to record their own readers theatre.

Students may choose one of the pre-selected scripts they would like to do with their partner.

If the students finish early, they may make their own script and record their own readers theatre with a partner.

The students will complete the lesson by filling out a 3-2-1 exit slip before transitioning.

The exit slip will ask for 3 things they learned, 2 things they liked or didn't like about the lesson, and 1 question they still have.

The teacher will evaluate student understanding from looking over the worksheet, recordings of the reader's theatre, and the exit slips provided at the end to gauge how to move forward.
