Teacher Notes (not visible to students)
See junewriters.com/teachers for other resources to help you teach periods and other ending punctuation rules as well as other punctuation, grammar, and editing conventions. Writing conventions practiced in this assignment: • A period is the small, single dot that we put at the end of the last word in a sentence to indicate the end of that sentence • No space before the period mark and one space* before the start of the first word of the next sentence * Some teachers prefer two spaces.
