Underline And Reconstruct

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is centered around the concept of direct speech and the use of quotation marks in writing. It provides a list of sentences that lack proper punctuation and asks students to underline the spoken words before rewriting the sentences correctly with quotation marks. The activity requires students to identify the parts of the sentences that should be enclosed in quotation marks, indicating the spoken parts of the dialogue. The varied sentence structures present the opportunity for students to practice with both statements and questions.

The worksheet is designed to teach students how to properly punctuate sentences with direct speech using quotation marks. It emphasizes the identification of the speaker’s exact words, which need to be distinguished from the rest of the text. The exercise also aims to reinforce the use of capitalization and punctuation in conjunction with quotation marks. By actively rewriting the sentences, students engage with the rules of punctuation in a practical and applied manner.
