The Dot Stops Here

Write about a day in which everything comes to a bizzare halt.

A day that suddenly stops provides many opportunities for students to practice using periods at the end of their statements as they describe events that come to a sudden stop (for example, a bike that won’t move, a bird that won’t fly). It challenges them to different sentences that require a solid endpoint, emphasizing the importance of a period to signify the end of a thought or idea.
