Practical Punctuation: Lessons on Rule Making and Rule Breaking in Elementary Writing
Practical Punctuation is the thinking child’s (and teacher’s) guide to punctuation! Gone are endless drills and meaningless exercises that lead to little or no application in children’s writing. Dan argues for one focused punctuation study per grade, giving students a year’s worth of writing to apply what they’ve learned. When you consider this approach you’ll wonder how you ever taught another way. Dan’s think-aloud lesson suggestions make vividly clear how teachers can encourage students to experiment with punctuation to varied effect.
The particular delight of this book comes in the insights of gr eat writers—Frank McCourt, Jimmy Breslin, Natalie Babbitt, Colum McCann—that pepper its pages. These writers afford teachers a real-world view of the power of punctuation in creating meaning. The unrelent-ing focus throughout this beautifully crafted book is on meaning. Dan shows how writers wield punctuation in the way that an artist varies the size and type of her brushes and strokes—all in the service of meaning.
