Possessive and Plural Nouns Practice Task Cards includes 24 multiple choice task cards

that can be used to review, practice, or assess possessive and plural noun usage. The

set was created with an emphasis on possessive noun usage, and the task cards

include a mix of singular and plural possessive nouns. A few answers are the plural

forms of the words, and they were included to ensure that your students know when

to use plurals and when to use the possessive forms. There are two types of answer

keys as well as a half-page student recording form. Black and white versions of the

task cards are included as well as the color cards pictured above.

The cards were created to supplement the activities and printables in Possessive Noun

Showdown: Task Cards and More, although they can be used alone. If you need

additional resources for this skill, check out my “Take ’n Teach” Possessive and Plural

Noun Printables Pack.

Independent or Small Group Practice

The cards can be printed and used by individual students, in partner or team

activities, in literacy centers, or in small guided reading groups. Print the task cards on

sturdy cardstock or construction paper, and laminate them if possible. Cut the cards

apart and store each set in a plastic zippered bag. Be sure to print a cover card and

an answer key for each set of cards. When students bag up the cards, ask them to put

the cover on top and the answer key at the end. If you want students to record their

answers on paper, print a copy of the recording form for each student.

Whole Group Practice and/or Assessment

You have several options for using the multiple choice cards during

whole group instruction or with cooperative learning teams.

1. Team Scoot - You’ll need one task card and one recording form for

each student. Click this link to read the directions on Corkboard

Connections: Team Scoot - A New Twist on an Old Favorite

2. Showdown - You’ll need a set of task cards for each team, and each

student will need a dry erase board and marker. Click this link to read

the directions on Corkboard Connections: Show What You Know

3. Formative Assessment (Document Camera) - Display each task card, one at a time, using a document

camera and have your students respond on dry erase boards.

4. Formative Assessment (Digital Images and Plickers) - If you prefer not to print the cards, you can use the

task card images included with this product for “paperless” assessment by projecting them onto a screen.

You can also use the task card images with the free Plickers program described on the next page.

Standards below: L.3.1b, L.3.2d, L.4.1g, L.4.2d, L.5.1, and L.5.2e.

Plickers is a free, interactive assessment tool that uses “paper clickers” as

replacements for clicker devices. The teacher prints a unique Plicker card

for each student. During the lesson, the teacher displays a multiple choice

question, and students hold up their Plickers to respond. The teacher scans

the cards with a mobile device, similar to the way one would scan a QR

code. He or she can instantly see assessment data for that question including

who has the correct answer and who does not.

The main problem with Plickers is that teachers have to enter the

questions and answers manually. Fortunately, there’s a feature that

allows the user to import images for the questions which is a huge

time-saver. When you upload a task card image that has multiple

choice answers, you never have to type the questions or the answers!

To make this process easier for you, I’ve created images from all 24

Possessive and Plural Noun Task Cards. They’re in a separate folder

with a step-by-step tutorial, Plickers Made Easy with Task Cards.

To get started, go to www.plickers.com to set up your free account

and watch their online video tutorials. Then follow my Plickers tutorial

to import the task card images and add them to your Plickers library.

More Plickers Resources

Plickers is such an amazing free tool that I was inspired to present two

webinars and write two blog posts about the program. I covered how

to get started with Plickers as well as innovative ways to use Plickers

beyond assessment.

I also set up a Facebook group for teachers who are using Plickers

because I wanted a place where everyone could share ideas and

support each other. You can find links to all of these Plickers resources

on my Interactive Teaching Made Easy page on Teaching Resources.
