Summary:In this lesson, students find and mark words needing capitals. The following tips are given individually with many opportunities for practice. Capitalize the names of continents, countries, provinces, states, counties, cities, neighborhoods, townships, and boroughs. Capitalize the names of bodies of water, valleys, mountains, and other landforms. Capitalize the given names of buildings (e.g., Empire State Building), tunnels, bridges, and roads. Capitalize the names of businesses and schools. Capitalize compass directions when part of a street address or place name (e.g., 125 North Main Street, Raleigh, North Carolina). Capitalize a compass direction when it refers to a region of a nation or the world (e.g., Industry helped the West grow rapidly.). This lesson is part of a series, A+ Tips for Capitalization, which covers capitalization rules needed by students in grades 4 through 7. It can be presented as a single lesson, or used for daily reinforcement by covering a tip a day. The lesson ends with a ten question Mimio Vote quiz.
