Summary
In a sentence, punctuation may seem meek when compared to those mighty words, but punctuation has incredible power over the meaning of a sentence. Students will try re-punctuating sentences to find new meanings – without changing a single word!
- Students find multiple meanings by adding punctuation to this set of words: *your teacher said my dad is a rockstar*
- Given five options, students choose at least three and try to find at least two meanings for each by adding punctuation.
- Finally, students try to create their own set of words that can be re-punctuated OR they can create a tiny story which they can add punctuation to.
