Periods
A Grammar Lesson With Mr. Bono
What is a Period?
• A period is a full stop
• A period is a full breath for the reader
• A period is the ending of a sentence
• A period is the ending of piece of information
Why Use Periods?
• We use periods to allow the reader to take a full breath and continue reading
• We use periods to give the reader a chance to separate information in their brain
How to use Periods
• A period is used at the end of a sentence• It is placed beside the word on the left side
of it.• After you place a period, the next
sentence is put on the right side of the period. This new sentence will need to be one space away from the period
• A new sentence will always begin with a capital letter in the first word.
Classroom Task #1
