Spaces

Activity I

The writer of the story below began correctly, but then got lazy and stopped putting spaces between words. An editor is needed! Here's how to insert spaces. Move the cursor to the first place where a space is needed. For example, if you wish to separate "itwas," you would place the cursor under the "w." Then press the Space bar.

Continue to move the cursor through the story, stopping to add a space wherever you think it's needed. Do not press enter. If you press enter by mistake, just press the Delete or Backspace key.


Remember to space between sentences and after a comma.

When you have inserted all the spaces, you can add some words and phrases -- anywhere in the story -- to make it more interesting. For example, what was the weather like that day? What were Lisa and Mark wearing?

One day Lisa and Mark decided to have a picnic. Lisasaidshewouldbringthepeanutbutterandjelly.Marksaidhe would bring the bread and ice cream. Theywenthometogettheirsupplies. At1:00theymetinthepark.

Theicecreamhasmeltedalloverthebread."

How did you do? Scroll back and check your work against the correct version below. If you didn't make a second paragraph, do that now by pressing Return after "supplies," and then indenting five spaces before "At 1:00."

One day Lisa and Mark decided to have a picnic. Lisa said she would bring the peanut butter and jelly. Mark said he would bring the bread and ice cream. They went home to get their supplies.

At 1:00 they met in the park. Lisa looked into her knapsack and made a sad face. In an embarrassed voice she told Mark that she had forgotten to bring a knife. Then Mark looked into his knapsack. "Oops!" he said. "It doesn't matter about the knife. The ice cream has melted all over the bread."

Activity II

You'll see that the fairy tale below has no spaces either, and that there is some "screen junk" between words.

First, place the cursor under the first letter of each word and press the Space bar. If you make a mistake, just press Delete or Backspace. Remember to space between sentences and after a comma. Indent each paragraph five spaces. Delete the screen junk, please.

Then, read the story again and add your own ending.
If you have partners, put your great brains together!

[Write your own ending at the <  >, above! Try to imagine how the two giants would act. What would they say to each other? Would the Pod people finally get some rest?]
