The main focus of this task is punctuation. Students will read Janine's email to her new pen pal and insert eight question marks in the correct places.
This task assesses the initial knowledge and understanding associated with correct use of speech marks for direct speech, i.e., identifying the words spoken. Students are required to identify the words spoken in four sentences by recording them in speech bubbles.
Students fill in speech bubbles from direct speech in sentences. The purpose of this activity is to assess students' ability to identify the words actually spoken.
The focus of this resource is selecting the appropriate punctuation to end sentences. The resource ends with a shared activity where students write some sentences about themselves, share them with a partner, and give each other feedback on their punctuation.

Students create a vignette with a focus on writing that is brief, descriptive, and set in one point in time. They should not be concerned with plot. As the emphasis is on quality rather than quantity, students need to show a controlled and elegant skill in writing, and to use figurative language to 'show' rather than 'tell'.
