Year 5: Bracketing Off Names (Monday 19th January 2009)



//L.O. To understand the use of the 'bracketing' comma to 'bracket off' names//

Over the next few weeks we'll be learning about the bracketing comma - the key to writing brilliant prose!

Task: Write a dialogue (a conversation) between four member of a family who argue about where to go on holiday. Your task is to 'bracket off' names using a comma as you write, e.g.

"I think we should go to Australia, Bob!" said Sally.

Feeling clever? 'Bracket off' words 'No' and 'Yes', e.g.

"Yes, that's a brilliant idea, Bob!" exclaimed Sally.


Write 1/2 side of A4.

Due: Tuesday
