Their (there?) where (were?) you're (your?) going to? huh?

Well I was helping a friend with grammar (funny, I know!), especially with homonyms. I thought of where being a place and then noticed that there is the word "here" inside where and there. Since they are all places I decided to show this visually and of course my mind just started going crazy with ideas as usual!
Along with the difference of were and we're.

This would be a great visual for the wall or inside journals, as shown here folded up on a 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of computer paper.

I also showed the difference of you're, you are, they're, and they are using a flip up sheet that was taped down. Notice the colors and which letters are which colors.

Next I decided to show a visual for their. My mom helped me with "heir" and their so this is what I came up with for my visual to go along with the princess, king, queen, theme I started with.

On the left is my original and then (I am not perfect.... ha) my boyfriend Steven noticed I spelled throne wrong and left out "to." So of course my creative mind started turning again cause I wasn't about to redraw the whole thing again! This is when I decided to make a 3-D gold colored throne.



Until another idea pops into my head.
