How do I teach sentence beginning and ending ssentence punctuation?

In this lesson pack, students are introduced to defining a sentence using punctuation. The lesson begins with an interactive presentation to explain how capital letters are used to demarcate the beginning of a sentence before discussing the three punctuation marks that may be used to demarcate the end of a sentence. Students have a chance to practise this skill independently or in small groups where they reinforce this concept by identifying and adding correct punctuation to a series of supplied sentences. The lesson finishes with a chance for students to reflect and share their learning with others. This pack also includes fun station cards for students to practise this skill cooperatively and all the resources you need to teach! 

This lesson has been designed to complement the teaching of Te Mātaiaho New Zealand English Curriculum.
