Description
Commas and Quotation Marks in Dialogue (PowerPoint / Google Slides, Worksheets, Posters & Activities).
Learn all about quotation marks and commas in dialogue with this no-prep interactive PowerPoint / Google Slides presentation and printables set. The presentation consists of 54 slides, jam-packed with engaging activities. Eight printables (two posters, five worksheets, and a flippy book) are included to reinforce and consolidate new language concepts. Perfect for students in 2nd, 3rd, or 4th grade.
Students often struggle to punctuate direct speech. This PowerPoint explains the components of direct speech (speaker tags and spoken words) and how to punctuate sentences depending on the position of the speaker tag.
Students work through the interactive slides with their whiteboards to learn about the correct use of quotation marks and commas in dialogue. It's easy to use; just click and teach.
Please watch the video preview for more information.
Use this pack for whole-class teaching (via Zoom or in-person), literacy centers, test prep, or review. The combination of colorful graphics, animation, sound clips, quiz-style informal assessment, and the use of personal whiteboards create a learning experience that works!
This set is incredibly versatile; use it for sub lessons or your formal observations. It's no-prep, click, and teach. It will save you hours and hours of prep.
