  1. Another way of looking at Semicolons and Colons….

  2. Semicolons Ends the one thought, so it is a period ; Continues to another thought, so it is a comma For example in between two complete sentences or before introductory phrases/words

  3. Colons : View these like eyes, looking ahead to see what comes next For example a list of items, for long quotes, for an introduction to a letter, or when a second sentence follows and further describes the first

  4. Final Review Activity Taped underneath your desk you will find part of a sentence. Find the rest of your sentence and then ALL of your sentence group come and see me for your next clue.

  5. Congratulations on completing your first sentence! On to the second step! Taped around the room are 10 sentences with their punctuation missing (oh no!!). On your notecard (the other side of these directions) write the missing punctuation for each sentence. The first 5 people who bring me the correct answers will get extra credit on their semicolon and colon quiz on Thursday. Good luck!
