We wanted to focus on speech marks as we have been pointing them out in all our previous books. We prepared what we thought was a 'wow' introduction to using speech marks. However, things didn't work out like we had hoped!
Gill and I blew up balloons with text inside in an attempt to represent a speech bubble, once it popped we used the pieces as the speech marks on either side of the sentence. Our classes absolutely loved this introduction and responded so positively! We were sure that they all understood the concept.........but as we were find out this was not so!!
A few understood, but we realise that it is something that we are going to have to continue practising!
I have included some of the work we did, the children chose a picture of Poggy Frog, traced him and then had to make up a sentence that Poggy said, using gummed paper to place the speech marks.
