Language Arts: Direct and Indirect Quotations
by: Diane Perigin
GRADE LEVEL: 4th
OBJECTIVE: The students will differentiate between direct and indirect
qoutations.
PROCEDURE: The teacher will write the words to make up a sentence
on diferent pieces of paper (1 word per page).
The teacher will also have pieces of paper with different
punctuation marks, including quotation marks.
The teacher will ask for volunteers to take a piece of
paper. The students will then look at their word or
punctuation mark and line up in the correct order so as
to make the sentence make sense.
The rest of the class will then read the sentence aloud
and determine if the sentence is in correct order, and
whether or not it is a direct or indirect quotation. If it is
a direct quotation, then two stidents will need a sheet of
paper with a quotation mark on it. They will then need to
place themselves in the correct position in the sentence.
MATERIALS:
plain paper
markers
volunteers
This activity is also good in determining what your students know about
sentence structure.
