on Today I would like you to choose one of the blog posts that you have not done and complete it by the end of the lesson. From now on, there will be a language focus when you are writing a new post. Today the language focus we capital letters; once you have written your post, I want you to check that you have used capital letters in the right places.
on The first words of a sentence
The pronoun “I”
Proper nouns (the names of specific people, places, organizations, and sometimes things)
Family relationships (when used as proper names)
The names of God, specific deities, religious figures, and holy books
Exception: Do not capitalize the nonspecific use of the word “god.”
Titles preceding names, but not titles that follow names
Directions that are names (North, South, East, and West when used as sections of the country, but not as compass directions)
