How To Use Apostrophes
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. I chose the music because the video reminded me of old public service announcements at the cinema. Feel free to use it for your class. If you have suggestions for the video, just contact me.
