The lesson will be delivered using a student-centered approach, where learners actively apply the rules instead of memorizing them passively. I will encourage students to share examples from their oen writing, work collaboratively in pairs, and reflect on how punctuation shapes meaning. Through guided discovery and practice, they will gain confidence in using punctuation purposefully and effectively.
