MyPoWriYe #145 - '
'
I'm Emily Apostrophe.
Please introduce me properly.
Include me in contractions.
(That's my cat, Fred.)
Place me in possessives.
(Fred's ball is red.)
Don't stick me in a plural
or in front of every s.
Learn where I live.
Don't just guess.

There are so many fabulous books and websites filled with interesting and funny facts about and misuses of different punctuation marks. When I am back from vacation and not working from a dollhouse computer, I will share some of these with you.
I am currently considering writing a collection of punctuation poems with characters such as bossy Emily Apostrophe!

Cute Amy! Nolan and Emily should hang out! I wanted to tell you that I was thinking of you while I was getting my room ready. I walked into my classroom bathroom and decided that it needed something......so I hung poetry posters up all over the walls! I am afraid that they will be in there more frequently and for longer amounts of time but it is fun in there!
ReplyDeleteAmy - I'm a teacher in the Iroquois district, and I checked out your blog after you passed out your card at a workshop in August. I'm enjoying it immensely and looking forward to learning from you this year. You've inspired me to start a blog of my own: http://daddled.blogspot.com/ - I'd be interested to know what you think.
