Teacher Notes (not visible to students)
See junewriters.com/teachers for other resources to help you teach contractions and other grammar, punctuation, and editing conventions. Writing conventions practiced in this assignment: • Contractions smoosh together two words and use an apostrophe to replace missing letters. • There are a limited number of accepted contractions in Standard English. • There are a few contractions that trip up a lot of writers because they sound just like other words (e.g., it's and its, they're and there/their, and you're and your).
