You may also challenge students’ cursive skills by showing them a printed letter and asking them to write it in cursive. Materials • Computer or interactive whiteboard (WB) • Digital Teaching Tools (available online at hwtears.com/dtt) Grouping Whole class Activity 1. Choose a letter. Prepare Digital Teaching Tools (DTT) to demonstrate the letter. 2. Children point their pointer fingers at the screen. 3. As children trace the letter, say the parts of letter. We are going to trace a in their air. Say the parts of a with me, Magic c, bump the line, up like a helicopter, bump, back down, bump, travel away. Suppor t/ELL Making large movements can help children learn correct letter formation. For children who do not know the cursive letters in their names, use the Digital Teaching Tools to introduce letters. Children can Air Write the letters in their names using a visual model (p. 39). Check Observe as children trace letters in the air following the model on the screen. Do children say the correct parts of the letters as they trace? More to Learn You can also teach cursive capitals using the Digital Teaching Tools. Connections Technology Link: Use this lesson as an opportunity to discuss computers. Call children forward to activate DTT. They will enjoy watching the letter come to life. 38 3rd Grade Cursive Teacher’s Guide: Lowercase Letters 3_TG3rd_LOWERCASE_035-124.indd 38 © 2013 Handwriting Without Tears® 11/19/2012 1:08:05 PM Connection Inspection Bring cursive connections to life by turning your students into words. Their bodies will be the letters, and their arms will be the connections. Play this unique activity in teams of four and allow children to problem solve together to pass the inspection. Materials None Grouping Groups of four Suppor t/ELL It is easier for children to connect their arms when they can see the words written on the board. Start by showing the cursive model on the board until children understand the activity. Then you may model words in print. Activity 1. Choose the words to connect and write them in print on the board. 2. Divide your class into teams. Choose one student to be the “inspector.” 3. Explain to your students that for base line letters they should keep their left hands down low. For letters that end high (Tow Truck Letters - o, w, b, v), put their left arms out. Explain that the next letter (student) has to start wherever the previous letter (student) ends. 4. Have the teams solve the word problems by making the connections with their arms. 5. Have the inspector see if children connected their arms correctly. Check Observe as children build the words. Are they joining their arms correctly to make the connections? More to Learn After children have learned all of their connections (at the end of the workbook), give them a mini quiz available at hwtears.com/click Team 1 11 wag dog Team 2 Connections Video Lesson: View “Connection Inspection” at hwtears.com/videos © 2013 Handwriting Without Tears® 3_TG3rd_LOWERCASE_035-124.indd 45 3rd Grade Cursive Teacher’s Guide: Lowercase Letters 45 11/19/2012 1:08:09 PM h travel, up like a helicopter + slide down, bump + climb back up, and over + and down, bump, travel away ObjectiveS: To write lowercase h with correct formation; to write h in words. h is Lesson Plan h Have children turn to p. 14.

Have students choose an animal, and then research, write, and present a report on their findings. 96 3rd Grade Cursive Teacher’s Guide: Lowercase Letters 3_TG3rd_LOWERCASE_035-124.indd 96 © 2013 Handwriting Without Tears® 11/19/2012 1:08:41 PM You’re or Your? Objectives: To distinguish contraction you’re from possessive your; to use apostrophes in contractions. POEM Lesson Plan ’ or Your? Youre Have children turn to p. 83. Even adults make mistakes with you’re and your. But yo’re going to teach yor students to use them correctly. Have children close their eyes as you read “You’re or Your?” Be sure to read the title. Children open their eyes and read the poem with you. Try reciting as a class. Do you wonder which to use? ’ a pem to help you chose, Heres ’ (you are) ging fr a run, If youre ’ Youre, the contraction, is the one, But, if you hae lst your shes, Possessie your is what to use. 1.Explain contract and contraction. To contract means to shrink. Say, “Contract!” and make yourself small. A contraction is shortening two words into one. Apostrophes take the place of missing letters. Contractions are fun to do. Take out a letter or take out a few! 2.Demonstrate you are = you’re. © 2013 Handwriting Without Tears ® Cursive Handwriting CH_TEXT_11.16.12.indd 83 83 11/16/12 4:10 PM More to Learn Compare compound words with contractions. They both use two words. Compound words make a completely new word with a new meaning. Contractions make a shorter word with the same meaning as the two words. Suppor t/ELL A wonderful way to teach subject and possessive pronouns is with the poem “Three Little Kittens” which makes frequent use of they and their, we and our, you and your. Prepare double lines on the board. Write yo are = yo’re. Write you’re in two steps: 1. Write yo are. 2. Add the apostrophe and erase the a. Students copy the first four lines of the poem. 3.Explain possess and possessive. To possess means to own. The suffix -ive makes adjectives possessive. Possessive means belonging to. Your shoes belong to you. 4.Demonstrate the first line. Prepare double lines. Model Do yo wonder which to se? Children copy. 5.Monitor as children copy the poem. Demonstrate more lines as needed.
