This is the fourth resource in the series on apostrophes. The resource comprises two versions of the same file: the PDF is intended for classroom display purposes, although it could also be projected onto the board if you have problems making PowerPoint work properly. It deals with a trickier area: where to put the apostrophe when the plural noun does not end in 's'. There are not many words like this, but the ones there are (children etc.) are very high frequency. The presentation is pitched at KS2/KS3 classes.

This is an activity called Sweet Talk, a public speaking exercise for pupils from Y4-Y9. Hits 4 objectives for presentation and communication. The resource consists of a presentation to introduce the lesson, full and clear lesson plan, and three resources files (mark sheets for pupils' use, topic cards and reward tokens). Children are given time to prepare their Christmas themed topic, after which they speak for a whole minute to the class. Each member of the class assesses the performance and scores it out of 3. At the end of the session, scores are compared (show of hands), and pupils receive sweet tokens according to the number of points they are awarded. These are then cashed in for teacher goodies. It's an activity I invented one Christmas, and which subsequently became firmly embedded into the weekly timetable. Parents either love it or hate it. It is valued by those who notice and appreciate the increase in their child's confidence and articulacy; it's much less popular with those who resent having to get involved with homework!
