A 21 slide PowerPoint show on direct and indirect objects and their effect on word order. Indirect objects are shown in two positions in the sentence. One of the early slides has animated entrance effects, but after that, the presentation is teacher controlled, and can be used for whole class work with individual whiteboards. For anyone who can't stand the garish transition effects (pupils will love them!), there is a PDF version of the presentation. Follow-up worksheets are well differentiated. The task for the most able students is to parse the whole sentence. For the middle ability, the direct and indirect objects have to be highlighted in different colours. The least able are required simply to highlight only the indirect object.

There are two versions of a short presentation, plus a worksheet where pupils have to correct comma splices by using full stops.

This is an introduction to the possessive apostrophe, dealing with singular nouns (apostrophe before 's') only. The pack contains a presentation in both PowerPoint and PDF format. The PDF version would be ideal for making classroom posters. There is also an exercise where pupils have to insert missing apostrophes into 20 phrases. Answers are provided. The exercise should be written out in full, rather than allowing children simply to insert apostrophes onto the worksheet itself, as they need to leave a space between the noun and the 's' rather than joining letters.
