Lesson teaching contractions, while using technology...

To introduce this lesson, I used a promethean board. I had sentences with words that needed to be turned into a contractions. After a student came up to the board, we figured out which words needed to be turned into a contraction. Then there were two different options for how the word should be written (An example of this is are'nt and aren't).  The student then would choose which one they thought is the correct answer. 

After the students understand what a contraction is, and where the apostrophe goes, they are given a packet to practice on their own. However, before they start to work on the packet, we will go over the directions, and also do the first problem together. Then the students will work on the packet until they are done.
