Purpose
Practise fixing basic spelling and punctuation mistakes.
Description
This lesson uses short 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.
