The lesson plan aims to teach basic students about signs of punctuation and their different uses. It begins by asking students what they already know about punctuation and shows an example of creative punctuation usage. Students are then asked to punctuate a part of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I have a dream" speech creatively. They discuss punctuation signs and watch a video of how punctuation was used in the speech. Finally, students punctuate a Charlie Chaplin speech and compare their version to subtitles of his actual speech.
