"Teaching conventions can become somewhat dry. Try using interactive online games instead. After making a simple Google search, I found a couple your students might enjoy playing. In Power Proofreading , students act as proofreading technicians to fix TV scripts, memos, and other writings for a television station. Then there's Punctuation Paintball , a creative way for children to learn many of the rules of basic punctuation and capitalization. Schoolhouse Rock! - No explanation needed... I hope. This is a perfect place to integrate music with writing. Have fun and visit Schoolhouserock.tv to links to YouTube videos and lyrics.
