The hardest homophones for my students to ever learn were there, their and they're. Here is a great power point mini lesson to explain the differences. This is then followed by a quiz, which can be done whole group, made into a paper/pencil assessment or loaded into a student response system, like Beyond Question or IRespond. I have used this in my classroom as an introduction and as a review - maybe you can use it for both! Tested with real students in the classroom of Heidi Raki.

After our move to Morocco in June of 2011, I will be teaching first grade at an American School in Casablanca, Morocco. Currently, I teach all grade levels in the computer lab at a Title I school in Georgia. Previously, I taught 3rd grade for 4 years. I student-taught in 3rd grade and Kindergartden. I teach in a low-income school where my students need to look at every problem from 12 different angles. Although it is challenging, it is also incredibly rewarding.
