    FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are focusing on punctuation for clarity and better understanding.


    We start Term 4 by reinforcing our understanding of punctuation and sentence structure.

    Learning outcome:

    By the end of this week's specific learning, you should be able to reinforce your understanding of:

    •  run-on sentences - it's a definite NO!  (They are the biggest killer of a good writing!!!). 
    •  comma splices (another NO, NO), commas for additional information,  and apostrophe.

    Learning Activity

    • Complete Education Perfect Activities by 3pm on Friday.
    • Aim to score 80%+ in Reading Plus. If you already are scoring 80%, raise your achievement bar by setting yourself a higher percentage! Your Reading Plus score this week must reflect good understanding with a high comprehension score.
