Scary+possessive+Nouns

I realize this may be relatively basic for many teachers; however, there are some tricky words that make you think twice. In order to avoid the embarrassment of not knowing the correct way to make "woman" or "boss" possessive, I'm going to teach you!

I will begin my lesson by reintroducing the basic rules of possession. I will have a premade chart on the smart board of words, simple and complex. This chart will also have three columns, singular possessive, plural, plural possessive. As a class we will go through the tricky words. I will call on students for the answers. Next, students will come up and fill out the rest of the chart one at a time.

//Hey, Olivia, Please see my e-mail response to your idea -- again, I think you have a good focus, but you'll want to revise with an LEA approach in mind, as well as thinking about establishing a meaningful context for the lesson. I like the idea of using the SmartBoard. I look forward to reading your plan soon. Best, Dr. Y//
