Learning Objective
I can edit writing by checking punctuation.
Today we will learn how to edit writing by checking punctuation. Reading and writing help us share our ideas with others.
Punctuation marks are symbols that help us understand writing. The period (.) ends a sentence. The question mark (?) shows someone is asking something. The exclamation point (!) shows strong feeling or excitement. Commas (,) separate items in a list or pause between parts of a sentence. Using the right punctuation makes your writing clear!
Let's break this down step by step so it's easy to understand. Follow along with the examples, and don't worry if it takes some practice to get the hang of it!
Remember: Making mistakes is part of learning. If something is tricky, try again, look at the examples, or ask for help.
