Thunder! An animated resource for teaching SPAG

This 30 part animated film noir detective story is an exciting and suspenseful lesson starter designed to reinforce the prior teaching of capital letters, apostrophes, and the 16 most common spelling errors. Each part requires approximately 10 minutes of class time, and this includes both watching the episode and correcting the transcript.

As students improve their competency with regard to these areas, they are also challenged to consider whether or not Mike Thunder’s latest client is actually an accomplice in her husband’s disappearance. The answer is only revealed at the end of the series.

As well as a YouTube link to the series, I have also included the transcripts + the rules for the correct usage of apostrophes, capital letters and the 16 most common spelling errors, e.g. to/too, where/were and affect/effect.
