I highly recommend doing a Punctuation Study a la Katie Wood Ray. I have used it with all ages and have had the best results of anything else I have ever tried. The students need to actually experience why punctuation is so important. They need to see that the author (them) really has an obligation to show the reader exactly how to read the text infront of them. Only then do they take charge of their own writing.
