punctuation challenge

Every morning, write a fairly long sentence for your class to punctuate. Begin simply, with periods, question marks and exclamation points. Move to adding commas and quotation marks. If your students are able to meet the challenge and punctuate the sentences correctly, keep a tally of how many are correct. Set a goal and a reward with your students. For example, “After 10 correct sentences, you earn a raffle. After 25 correct sentences, you earn an ice cream sundae party.”
