Summary:

Grammar and punctuation can freeze the hearts of teachers and pupils alike. Liana Swanton from Uplands Community Technology College has come up with a top five countdown of tips showing how different aspects of grammar can be broken down in a simple way which is fun for pupils. Embedding subordinate clauses in sentences using a simple red and green card method gets students out of their seats and actively building sentences. Comma practice involves displaying rules of commas around the classroom and getting pupils to write their own examples. Liana makes cards shaped like glue sticks with more sophisticated connective words on to encourage her pupils to make sentences and conversations using the connective as a glue to bind the sentence together.
