Find a partner and practice saying.... (remember to change your voice)

Task 4
Add the missing puntuation to the story "Yo, Yes"
With a partner 'perform' your story to the class making sure you read the punctuation. Does it make sense?

In your Literacy Book, create your own punctuation characters. Give them names and decribe their personalities.
- full stop
- comma

Example:
This is Mr Inquisitive the Question Mark. He asks questions all the time so he is always learning new things!
Task 6
In your literacy book write a story about an adventure that your Punctuation Characters go on (maybe they go to Punctuation Island?). Make sure you use correct punctuation in your story.
