What Not to Capitalize - Made-for-Easel Activity for Capitalization Rules

This standalone Easel Activity focuses on names that are not capitalized in the English language, specifically directions, elements, types of plants and animals, diseases, and seasons. After a brief introduction, third, fourth, or fifth grade students complete a series of interactive practice activities with thumbs-up/thumbs-down, a drag and drop activity, and highlighting.

Note: This resource is 100% digital, and students need gmail accounts to access it. No print materials are included. Watch the video preview to get a better look.

What’s Included:

• teacher directions and an answer key (remove before assigning)
• directions for using tools
• brief direct instruction
• five sentences for which students give thumbs-up (capitalized correctly) or thumbs down (not capitalized correctly), as well as answers for checking
• a drag and drop activity
• an activity for which they must highlight words that should be capitalized

Oral directions are also provided. Kids just push the sound icon.

If you'd like a more traditional approach, try this set of capitalization resources. Kids learn what not to capitalize through a PowerPoint presentation. Then they practice with worksheets.

Enjoy teaching capitalization rules!
