Mini Lesson on The Apostrophe


Engage: The students will be engaged by viewing a video about the use of the apostrophe.




Explore: The students will explore the correct and incorrect ways to use an apostrophe.


Explain: I will explain to the students that oftent times, people missuse the apostrophe. I will also explain ways to remember the correct uses, and also how to proofread for apostrophes.


Expand: After the rules of the apostrophe are examined, specific examples of correct and incorrect uses will be given.


Evaluate: Once the students have learned the rules, they will take an online quiz about the use of the apostrophe. We will do this activity as a class.


E-Search: For homework, the students will be expected to go back to the online quiz, and take Level C. They will print out their results and bring them to class the next day.
