I liked having this resource to guide me when teaching this standard. However, I think it was a little difficult for my 3rd graders. We haven't gone over some of the contenct, but that may be just because of the order we teach the language standards in our county.
My students struggled with this concept, however I was trying to teach it in a hybrid learning environment. It probably would have been more successful in a everyday review situation. Work like to try again during a "normal" year.
Good Resource
Thanks for the resource
My students were frustrated with this resource for their morning work. I give them time to work on it then go over all of it as a whole group. Unfortunately, my students are to quick to "shut down" and are not in the mindset to be able to understand what we're doing.

Does this source also address how colons and semi-colons play into things?
Hello! This particular unit does not differentiate between colons and semi-colons. However, this unit from the 4th-grade set does: https://teacherthrive.com/product/fourth-grade-grammar-punctuation/.
