This was made for university as an example of a teaching tool. It was made using photo story 3 and had to teach an aspect of grammar. I chose apostrophes. This would be aimed at year 6s, 7s and 8s (or older) who already have a basic knowledge of apostrophes but need some revision. The photos were acquired from Flickr and Natalie Dee.
