Circle the words life, legs and skill and ask the students who they belong to. The students should suggest the boy, Jamila and Basil. Encourage the students to tell you what the apostrophe does (e.g. show possession/ show what or who is the owner of something).

​

There is an additional activity revising apostrophes and contractions in Self Study activity 6 on page 13 of the Skills Book.
