In My Classroom:

I used the hands-on activity with my 4th and 5th graders as test prep for next week's end of year state test. All 30 Students were paired up and given one sentence starter. The phrases the students needed in order to complete their sentences were placed in plastic eggs (1 phrase per egg) and scattered around our classroom. Students searched for the eggs that held the phrases they needed to complete their sentences. This part was surprisingly a little tricky for my kids. Some kids got so dang excited about building sentences but totally forgot to read the sentences to make sure they made sense. To alleviate this issue, you might want to place all 3 phrases in the same plastic egg. The activity took a bit of time due to all of the revisions we needed to make before every team found and built their correct sentence. At the end of the lesson, I created 4 new sentences for the kids to complete, so that I could be sure they understood the concept fully. ***NOTE: Completing this hands-on activity in a guided small group would allow the students a bit more flexibility with their sentences, since some of the phrases can fit in more than one sentence.

Your students will have SPOOKTACULAR Halloween fun this school year with this activity. Halloween Would You Rather is always lots of fun for students!

In this collaborative, interactive, hands-on grammar activity, students work with partners to physically build dialogue and practice punctuating it correctly. You can use this resource as a small group guided instruction activity, scoot, or independent assignment, and your young writers will be engaged and learning the whole time. Differentiating for a wide range of student abilities is easy with this resource.

Using this activity with my own 5th graders really helped me see which students were still struggling with the punctuation rules, allowing me to quickly intervene and reteach the skill as needed. My students completed all of the different activities, moving from guided instruction, to partner work, to identifying dialogue in the wild, to finally writing their own lines of dialogue. I recommend using all activities over the course of a full week.

Resource includes:

• Teacher Directions
• Dialogue Building Pieces (sentences, dialogue tags, quotation marks, commas, periods, and question marks)
• Scoot Task Cards
• Scoot worksheet
• Dialogue in the Wild worksheet
• Practice Writing Dialogue worksheet
• Scoot Answer Key
