Grammar Eats a Treat

• As a class, read Grammar’s HINT (found in the upper right corner of the second page) to introduce or review the commonly confused words addressed in the feature. Then read the annotations, which model the correct usage.
• Have students practice the grammar skill by completing the activity as a class, in groups, or individually. In the activity, students choose which of the commonly confused words to use at several points within three short boxes of text.

• Use the “Who’s vs. Whose” activity.
• Have students observe the commonly confused words in context by searching for examples of their use in the magazine or in other reading material.

Challenge students to come up with their own “who’s/whose” sentences. Have them trade their sentences with a partner. What words do your students confuse? We’d love your suggestions for future grammar activities.
