Halloween observation By Virginia

Jamie, here is one idea for you. Give a mini lesson on punctuation - periods, question marks, and exclamation points. Follow it up by giving students four pages programmed with the following:

page 1 - You just entered a haunted house. Describe it using three to four statements.

page 2 - You hear eerie noises. Write two exclamations on how you feel.

page 3 - A ghost appears. Ask the ghost two to three questions.

page 4 - You see a witch flying on her broom. Write two to three command sentences.

Students should draw illustrations on each page to match their sentences.

Give each student a sheet of paper to design a cover for their Halloween Punctuation Booklet.
I hope this is of help to you.
