Here's a fun way for your students to practice editing for missing punctuation. Students edit sentences for missing periods, question marks, commas, apostrophes, exclamation marks, and quotation marks. Then, they use these sentences in their punctuation pockets craftivity! Choose between the print version and the TpT Digital Easel version. The print version can be made into a creative bulletin board or school hallway display. WORKSHEETS- Students begin this activity by completing two worksheets that contain 32 sentences. Answer keys are included. Students must determine which punctuation is missing from each sentence. Missing punctuation includes: periods question marks exclamation marks commas apostrophes quotation marks CRAFTIVITY- After the worksheets have been completed, students color the pockets and glue them onto a sheet of construction paper. Then, they cut apart the sentence strips from the worksheet and insert each strip into the appropriate pocket. Student-friendly directions are included so that you can place the directions under your document camera, and students can refer to them as they complete the project. TPT DIGITAL EASEL VERSION- This is a paperless version that can be completed on a device. Each slide contains two sentences written on two unique slips of paper. Each sentence is missing one type of punctuation, and students must read the sentence and determine what is missing. Students then drag the slip of paper to the appropriate punctuation pocket. The digital version contains the same 32 sentences that are included in the printable version. It contains 17 slides in all. Check out the PREVIEW! Here's what teachers like you had to say about using this activity with their students: ⭐️ Alisha W. said, "My students really enjoyed this activity! They appreciated the process of making the punctuation pockets instead of just working on a worksheet." ⭐️ Kristi M. said, "My principal walked in right after I used this activity with my students, and she was impressed! I love how simple yet engaging it is." ⭐️ Jama M. said, "Incredibly useful because it covers several curriculum standards with one activity." ⭐️ Nat M. said, "Such great value for money! I've used this craftivity across many different year levels and all students have loved it. Well organised, includes step-by-step directions, answers, photos - LOVE it, thankyou!"

Over the years, my students have come to sessions seeking help with literary devices. They have expressed confusion over the terms: literary devices, literary terms, literary elements and figurative language, and they also struggle with the many definitions. What are Literary Devices, Literary Terms, Literary Elements and Figurative Language? Literary Devices are creative writing strategies used by an author to convey his or her message(s). When used well, literary devices help readers to visualize, interpret and analyze literary texts. There are two kinds: literary techniques (which includes figurative language) and literary elements. Literary Techniques are words or phrases in texts of literature that writers use to achieve artistic or creative expression. Literary techniques also help readers to visualize, understand and appreciate literature. Literary Elements are components or pieces that make up a story or literary work. Figurative Language is the creative use of words and phrases that offers a hidden meaning beyond any literal interpretation. How Can Students Understand The Global Concept? I created an image to help students “see” the big picture as well as understand the individual components. Although I have not included all possible literary devices, I have included what I believe to be the most common ones. I hope you agree. Click Here to download a free copy of this image.

I LOVE saving figurative language until June - it's such a fun language unit ... and perfect for our "dreaming of summer brains". We finished up our EQAO testing mid week, and this onomatopoeia activity was the perfect break from testing. How fun is that??? Students chose two contrasting colours - one for the background and one for the word and border "bursting out of the page". They also needed newspaper (cut just a fraction smaller that the "bursting out of the page border" and glued the newspaper on top. They glued their word on top of that (we had brainstormed a lot of onomatopoeia words, but for some reason most of them chose SPLAT for their word). I also had them do a little shading under their letters for that little extra POP (see, I know some onomatopoeia words, too). ;) I had seen this awesome idea on Pinterest and followed it back to Artisan des Arts. Her examples are FANTASTIC!! We also wrote simile poems this week. I found a little template HERE for the students to use for their rough copies. When students were finished their templates, I had them write out their good copies, and illustrate a few lines with a small image. I hung these up, too ... LOVING our bulletin board switch up ... even this late in the school year!!! (I have two of these "smART class" bulletin boards side by side in the classroom. 15 more school days left ... I think I can ... I think I can ... Happy Friday!!!
