Today I taught punctuation to my 101 kids. As always, I began the lesson by writing the following on the board and asking the students to punctuate it:
A woman without her man is nothing
After they couldn't do anything more than add a period, I changed it to the following:
A woman: without her, man is nothing.
I then asked, "What happened when I added these two pieces of punctuation?"
One of my students said, "It made the sentence false."
For more on why punctuation is important, see this YouTube video. (Thanks, Rob.)
