PART 2: Skill Building (Colons & Semi Colons)
Colons and Semi-Colons Jeopardy
Last lesson we learnt how to use colons and semi-colons appropriately.
Remember:
A colon is used to introduce something.
A semi-colon is used to connect two sentences that have similar content.
Today we are going to put into practice what we have learnt by playing Colon and Semi-Colon Jeopardy
Here is how it will work:
You will compete in groups against each other. You will need to work with your group as a team to come up with the correct answers.
Each group will need paper/whiteboards as well as pens/whiteboard markers.
