A really FUNNY semicolon activity. I dare you not to laugh! 1. Which sentences use semicolons correctly? How do you know? Students read these hilariously written sentences and decide if the final clause explains the first clause. If so, then the semi-colon used is correct! If not, then it's just random nonsense that we can all laugh at. :) 2. Can you find any incorrect sentences where the final clause is random? Rewrite them. Students get the chance to correct mistakes once they know what

Beautiful eye catching posters of the main human body organs (including the heart, stomach, liver, pancreas and 7 more). Each organ has four posters of nicely presented information. The posters can be placed in different locations around a classroom, and small groups of children can read the detailed, but simply phrased, information of each organ. They can take notes and report back to the class about their findings. These posters encourage independent research. Enjoy!

Students learn how to break simple codes by reading five very visually pleasing posters. They then attempt to break a code by using the simple techniques explained in the posters.

Students practice when to use a comma and when to use a period. They punctuate fourteen sentences. Do you need a short pause, or a new sentence? Use a comma for a short pause. Use a period for a big pause when a new sentence is needed. This is a brilliant resource for students who are often confused when it comes to punctuation, or for those who simply need both concepts reinforcing. It also makes a good test to assess understanding of the clauses and punctuation.

Beautiful descriptive sentences that demonstrate how to combine adjectives and adverbs in one sentence. Students observe the beautiful photographs and either read the example sentences that describe them, or create their own sentences, or both. The sentences also encourage imaginative thinking and the use of a rich vocabulary.

Students break a code by using tables to convert an encoded letter into the plain letters. 7-11 year old kids will love this task!
