Procedure 5 minutes: Have students turn to pages 2-3 in their magazines. Instruct them to point to the words Real-Life Transformer. Ask students if they know what this text feature is.

It s usually written in big letters at the beginning of an article. Ask students to think about what else the headline might do. (grab readers attention, get readers interested in reading the article) 5 minutes: Have students turn to a partner and make predictions about what the article might be about based on the headline. (You might also encourage students to use another text feature, the photo, to help make predictions.) Invite pairs of students to share their predictions with the class. Then read the article together and confirm or deny predictions. 10 minutes: Repeat this procedure with Tomato Fight! and Surfing Mice on page 3. Read and highlight the headline, make predictions, read the articles, then reassess the predictions. Afterward, allow students time to browse through the magazine to highlight the headlines throughout.

Explain that a sentence stating something ends with a period. A sentence that asks a question ends with a question mark. A sentence that is exciting, scary, or shouted ends with an exclamation mark. Invite students to make up their own examples of sentences with each punctuation mark. 5 minutes: Direct students attention to the three sentences on the board. Tell them they have to decide the ending punctuation for each sentence. Instead of simply writing it in, use movements to denote each punctuation mark. Have students stand up and show the following movements: For a period, have students crouch down into a ball. For an exclamation mark, have them jump straight up. For a question mark, have them bend their bodies into question marks. Then read the sentences on the board. Have students do the appropriate movement. When the class comes to a consensus, write in the punctuation mark on the board. 15 minutes: Turn to pages 4-5 to read Celebrity Scoop: Beyoncé. Tell students to be on the lookout for sentences with these punctuation marks, because they will be quizzed after reading. Pause where necessary to discuss the appropriate punctuation marks. Assessment 10 minutes: Repeat the movement activity from earlier in the lesson, this time reading aloud sentences from the article. Be sure to incorporate the exclamatory sentences in sections 1, 4, and 6 and the question in section 5.
