Year 5 Prose Style - The Bracketing Comma



L.O. To revise the use of the bracketing comma for bracketing off names, interjections & questions


As you know, the bracketing comma is the key to understanding the comma. In class we revised the use of the bracketing comma.

Homework: In our comprehension lesson we read about an argument between a rude customer and a shop assistant.

Write your own arguments between a rude customer and a shop assistant as a playscript - the challenge is to include a bracketing comma in every piece of dialogue. Write 1 side of A4.

Use a gel pen to show the bracketing comma; highlight interjections with a colour highlighter.
