This is a PowerPoint presentation discovering through questions and examples the rules for punctuating dialogue and a speech punctuation and also an investigation task using Stormbreaker by Horowitz.

This task gets children to discover the rules of punctuating direct speech for themselves without being told, and thus leads to deeper understanding.
There are teaching notes showing the grammar essentials children need to understand to be able to use direct speech accurately.
The work can be linked to class study of Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz, or used as a grammar group or individual activity. There are more free resources available at www.angelawalker.co.uk
