Commas Rules Lesson and Practice Activities GRADES 5-8 Interactive Google Apps

⭐ NO PREP DIGITAL LESSON: Engage students in 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grades with this interactive lesson as you introduce or review comma rules and usage. Students will highlight text and type in their own responses to prompts. It's time to replace those boring worksheets!

Students will:

• learn the rules for commas and view examples
• apply the rules by typing sentences and adding commas correctly
• complete task cards by determining if commas are used correctly
• edit commas in a paragraph

This lesson provides a hands-on experience for students as they review rules and practice editing sentences!

**DESIGNED FOR GRADES 5-8**

►This lesson is ideal for whole group, small group, and one-on-one instruction for the grade levels I have tagged. It also works well for Response to Intervention (RTI), private tutoring, summer school, and remote learning.

►For students working below grade level, I recommend using the teacher-led/ direct instruction method outlined in the teacher guide. The slideshow is designed with gradual release, BUT some students will need a high level of teacher support throughout the lesson.

►A note about using this lesson for independent work... This lesson could be assigned for homework or learning stations if your students have been introduced to the concepts and skills prior to assigning it. I would also consider whether or not your students are good at reading and following directions as the activities switch every few slides.
