Colon and Semi-colon

Step 1: Engage and Explore
I'm working with high school students. I will engage them with my dashing personality and awesome slide show art.

Step 2: Explain
I will explain how and when to use both the colon and semi-colon.

Step 3: Extend
I will extend the lesson by showing examples of how to use each and by explaining Kurt Vonnegut's dislike of semi-colons.

Step 4: Evaluate and E-Search

I will lead the class through two on-line quizzes:
