'Apostrophes: Part 1' & 'Apostrophes: Part 2' (Power Point Presentations)

’Apostrophes: Part 1’
This power point starts by explaining the two different uses for an apostrophe and moves on to focus on omissive apostrophes (apostrophes to signify missing letters in words/contractions, such as ‘don’t’ etc.)

Slides 5-21 act as a manual ‘stop-motion’ video to visually demonstrate how omissive apostrophes are used (click to change slides at an accelerated pace to achieve this effect.)

’Apostrophes: Part 2’ for possessive apostrophes.

I designed these resources for use with FE students ( Levels 1 and 2), but it could also be used with secondary school-aged learners, strong Entry 3 students, and some older primary-aged children.

The presentations also reference other aspects of English, including using formal/informal language and pronouns.

PS
My apologies to anyone who downloaded the previous version of this resource, which included a rather embarrassing error (for some reason, I wrote ‘comma’ instead of ‘apostrophe’ in one section.) Also, I accidentally submitted a version that could not be edited.
