Student Actions 

Teacher Actions 

  • Students will demonstrate correct usage of mechanics, especially commas, apostrophes, quotation marks, colons, and semicolons.

 

 

 

 

 
  • Teachers continue to reinforce the correct usage of mechanics.

  • Teachers model the correct mechanics of commas, apostrophes, quotation marks, colons, and semi-colons.

  • Teachers provide opportunities for students to write using correct mechanics, especially commas, apostrophes, quotation marks, as necessary for dialogue and quoted material.

  • Teachers provide opportunities for students to receive feedback that focuses specifically on mechanics with a focus on commas, apostrophes, quotation marks, colons, and semi-colons.

Due to recursive nature of the standards, it is essential that teachers are aware of how all objectives within and between strands work together for optimal instruction.
