To use apostrophes for possession

Thank you for looking at my resource.

This resource includes a fully comprehensive PowerPoint,worksheets/resources (catering to a wide range of abilities) and preparation list.

The lesson starts with a noun warm up which will lead into introducing apostrophes for possession. Children will introduced to apostrophes for possession through seagulls.This lesson will work through common misconceptions to ensure children have a clear understanding of when to use apostrophes for possession.

Children will complete independent/ helping hands ( scaffolded/supported task) task 1 . Children will identify the correct use of apostrophes for possession. All children will be given a chilli challenge of writing their own apostrophes for possession.

Children will then look at how we write apostrophes for possession when the word ends in s.

Children will complete independent/helping hands task 2. In this task they will rewrite a sentence to include an apostrophe for possession. All children will be given the opportunity to complete the chilli challenge describing possessions around the classroom.

A chilli challenge is provided to extend learning. This should be given to all children. The ‘differentiation’ will be based on how children access the task.

Past/current vocabulary is explicitly taught, and children are reminded of this at suitable and regular opportunities.

Stem sentences are provided throughout to promote oracy and allow children to focus on the learning rather than formation of a sentence.
