Warm-Up

To warm up, let's practice some capitalization. Copy the following sentences onto a piece of paper with the correct words capitalized.

Remember: DON'T capitalize the words east, west, north, and south unless you are talking about a specific part of a country. If you are just talking about directions, then leave them lower-case.

Remember: DON'T capitalize the words "god" or "goddess" unless you are using those words as a NAME. The same rule applies to members of your family . . . don't capitalize words like "brother," "sister," "grandma," or "grandpa" unless you are using them as NAMES.
