The Secret Garden - Punctuation 1

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Proper punctuation is important. Focus on capital letters and periods by presenting your class with a paragraph that doesn't include either. Pupils determine where each sentence ends and begins, adding in capital letters and periods where necessary. The paragraph is about Mary Lennox from Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden.
