On a sheet of paper, write your thoughts on these two e-cards. What do you think they mean, what do you see wrong with them (if anything), are they effectively portraying a message?

3. Your vs. You’re Your- shows possession. Ex: This is your pen.
Your - Get students to turn to their shoulder partner and pick up an object that is sitting next to them (pencil or paper). They should hand this back to them and say “this is yours.”
You’re – students should turn to their partner and say, “You are wearing (insert color).” Then say “You’re wearing (insert color).”

Loose- Not firmly or tightly fixed in place, to release or set free
Lose- to be deprived of or cease to have; to cause someone to fail to gain or retain something.
