Description
This is a 30-slide flipchart "game" that takes pictures of misused apostrophes in the "real world" for students to find and fix the mistake. I used them in my high school English/Grammar classroom when I realized they were commonly confusing the possessive with the plural. After playing this "game" for one day, the majority of the students had mastered the skill. I teach an ACT English test prep class, and it was perfect. Some of the pictures are for high-interest for my often unengaged students - the pictures range from everyday store signage to poorly punctuated tattoos and gravestones. Overall it was a great lesson and I thought I would share.
