Punctuation Movie Show Reel
Punctuation displayed on a movie show reel.
Display this Punctuation Movie Show Reel in your classroom to help your students learn and remember the main functions of punctuation.
The reel includes apostrophes, question marks, full stops, exclamation marks, commas, quotation marks, colons and semi-colons. Print on A3, cut around the movie sign, show reels and punctuation signs and then laminate them or stick them to thick cardboard for added durability. The show reels go at either end of the punctuation signs.

I saw the same thing with regard to the “abbreviations” portion. I believe it should read “contractions” as well. It’s a great resource. Please consider editing that portion. I’d love to use all of it in my classroom!

Hi Robin & Meagan,
Thanks very much for pointing that out. We have updated the file and it is available to be downloaded now.
Kind regards

As I was laminating this resource I noticed the section that says more apostrophes, I think the second heading is meant to be contractions not abbreviations. Would this be correct?
