Practise fixing basic spelling and punctuation mistakes.
Description
This lesson uses mid-length snippets from John Marsden's Burning for Revenge to create exercises in which students correct scrambled spelling and punctuation. Content warning: Many of the snippets are violent and war-themed. This lesson was created for some male high school students who needed some basic skill drills, and snippets were chosen to appeal to their all-action-all-the-time interests.
