Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a 15-20 minute mini-lesson followed by independent practice, ideally during a grammar or writing block.
- Discussion question: Why do you think the first and last words of a title always get a capital letter, even when the last word is a small word like "of"?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Read each rule aloud together and model one title on the board before students work alone; provide a word bank of common small words (a, an, the, of, in, on) to remind them which words usually stay lowercase.
- Extension for advanced students: Have them invent a title for an original story or poem and justify each capitalization choice using the three rules.
- Estimated time: about 15-20 minutes for the explanation and practice.
