Task 1
For English today, have a think about this story to show the importance of correct punctuation.
A panda walks into a library. He eats a sandwich, then draws a bow and shoots two arrows out of the window. “Why did you do that?” asks the librarian as the panda walks towards the exit. The panda holds out a badly punctuated book about pandas. “I’m a panda,” he says, “that’s what it says we do.”
Panda eats, shoots and leaves.
What does this sentence mean? What is it supposed to mean? What is causing the confusion? Can you spot the mistake?
You can see the effect of misplaced punctuation; it can lead to misunderstanding and confusion!
