2 Read and complete. Circle the capital letters. Write A and a on the board. Point to the ‘A’ and say, This is a capital letter . Point to the a and say, This is a small case letter . Have a student come up to the board and write his/her name e.g. Diego. Ask, Which is the capital letter? D. Elicit that the first letter in a name is always a capital letter. Write a sentence on the board. We live in Mexico. Ask, Which are the capital letters? W and M . Elicit that you always start a new sentence with a capital letter, and that you always start the name of a place with a capital letter because a place is a name just like Diego. Tell students to complete the sentences about the Princess story. Then, ask students to circle the capital letters. 2 Rewrite the sentences using capital letters and correct punctuation. Read out the instructions and check comprehension. Have students do the exercise. When they have finished writing the sentences, have volunteers come out and write the sentences on the board, so that everyone can check their work and make any corrections they need to make. Ask volunteers to circle the capital letters and say why they are capital letters. Finally underline all the periods in the sentences in red, and ask students why the periods are there. Because they mark the end of sentences. Circle the question mark in green. Point out that you always need a question mark when you are writing a question, but in English, unlike Spanish, there is only one question mark at the end of the question. This visual approach is very helpful for students because most students have visual memories. Wrap Up Give each student a piece of paper. Have them draw a scene of their favorite book and write three sentences about how the characters feel, using correct punctuation.
