About the Author(s)
Please upgrade to the latest version of Flash or enable your browser's Javascript. Download the Viewing Guide.
(The Viewing Guide is in PDF format so you'll need Adobe's Acrobat
Reader to open it.) This 15-minute video shows how Jeff Anderson uses playful strategies and mentor text to engage writers in grammar and editing. In the "Apostrophe-thon," Jeff's sixth-grade students in San Antonio, Texas search through a mentor text excerpt to find examples of apostrophes and then categorize them as possessives or contractions based on a wall chart the class has compiled. Using real text, the students never fail to come up with some interesting examples such as "O'clock" and the two meanings of "they'd."
