Everyday Grammar Capitalization and Punctuation Warm-Ups – Grades 5 and 6 Interactive PowerPoint
An engaging 44-slide interactive PowerPoint to use in the upper grades classroom when learning about grammar and punctuation.
Use this interactive PowerPoint Presentation as a teaching resource in the classroom when learning about grammar and punctuation.
Use these warm-up questions when teaching students the correct use of:
- capital letters
- periods
- question marks
- exclamation points
- commas to separate clauses and introductory phrases
- apostrophes of contraction
- quotation marks
- apostrophes of possession.
As a class, work your way through the 20 problems presented on the 44 slides.
Students choose the correct answer from an option of four. When they select the incorrect answer, the PowerPoint will ‘buzz’, when they select the correct answer, the PowerPoint will ‘chime’ and transition to the answer slide.
Use the answer slide for student sharing and additional learning opportunities.
Implement this interactive PowerPoint as a warm-up prior to lessons, or as a daily review when concluding a lesson.
Add new slides and create your own class questions and answers using the editable function on the PowerPoint.
Please note that this PowerPoint is a large file and may take extra time to download.
