Learning Objectives

  • Students will be able to construct contractions using knowledge of words that represent the individual parts of a contraction.

Introduction

(5 minutes)
  • Ask the students to share some ways that words can be combined to form a single word (such as compound words, etc.).
  • Give students the opportunity to share in a brief class discussion.
  • Tell the students that they will be working on how to find the action in contractions — how to create contractions and use contractions in their writing.
