Where To Use Periods
Note: When the abbreviation comes at the end of a sentence, you should only use one period. Key Words & Phrases Declarative sentence Imperative sentence Statement Declare Command Request Understood subject Period Punctuation Chaos Confusion Initials Abbreviations
Follow-up Activity Write 5 declarative and 5 imperative sentences on 10 individual sheets of paper - one sentence per sheet. Add a couple of initials and abbreviations into some of the sentences without adding the periods. Cut the sentences into two parts, dividing them between subject and predicate. Divide the class into teams. (You will need a separate set of sentences for each team.) Give each team a set of the cut up sentences with the instructions that they are to figure out how they go together and then identify each sentence as declarative or imperative. They must also add the periods to all the initials and abbreviations. The first team that gets all 10 sentences correct wins. Challenge Activity Have the students take the sentence parts and then mix and match them to form “far out” sentences. They must then identify the sentence type and add the appropriate punctuation. |
