WORKSHEET:
Design worksheets in which students must identify groups of sentences as sentences 
or phrases.  Make these sentences theme or event related and use the names of your 
students and school staff members.

ACTIVITY: 
Copy text on acetate and use on the overhead projector.  Remove periods, question 
and exclamation marks.  Expose a section of text.  Students have to decide if it 
represents a sentence or phrase.  Discuss before showing complete text and 
replacing punctuation marks.
