Have you ever noticed the overuse of apostrophes? How about the neglect of the apostrophe? Whether it's using too many, or simply not using enough, students need to figure out where and when to use them! If students can learn how to correctly use apostrophes in middle school, there is a good chance this will stick with them throughout the rest of their lives...

// Hi, Caroline, Apostrophes can serve as a good focus -- as mentioned in my e-mail, you'll want to think about how you'll take a language exploration and awareness approach in your lesson. Consider how you will create a meaningful context for your lesson. You'll want to think about how to get at the purpose and function of the apostrophe and how the use of it affects meaning.
