Instructional Ideas
  • For guided practice, develop several models and have class members edit the sentences, adding colons or semicolons as appropriate
Classroom Considerations
  • The seventh in an eight-lesson unit on research writing
  • Each lesson in the unit is designed to address specific Common Core standards directly
  • The lesson presumes class members have previously studied dependent and independent clauses
Pros
  • The eight-page packet includes a step-by-step plan, pre- and post-revision, color-coded model paragraphs, a handout that details when and how to use colons and semicolons
Cons
  • The Colon and Semicolon Handout includes only one example for each punctuation type and no practice exercises
