Punctuation Quiz 3
English Resource Description
The "Y3 Punctuation Quiz 3" is a quick assessment tool designed for Year 3 students to revise their understanding of punctuation. The quiz, created by KS2Gems in 2020, consists of 10 slides and is intended to be completed within a time frame of no more than 10 minutes, making it a convenient activity to incorporate at the beginning or end of a lesson. It serves as an ideal way to gauge students' retention of punctuation rules they have previously been taught.
During the quiz, students are asked to write on their whiteboards in response to various prompts. These prompts range from identifying and naming punctuation marks, adding missing punctuation to sentences, checking and correcting punctuation in given sentences, converting sentences to different forms, and selecting the correctly punctuated sentence from multiple choices. The quiz includes tasks such as writing the contracted form of phrases, determining the correct use of commas, apostrophes, and capitalisation, and recognising punctuation in context. This activity not only tests students' knowledge but also reinforces their understanding of punctuation usage in written English.
