Recognize when proper nouns have not been capitalized correctly

This worksheet gives the student practice in identifying proper nouns by rewriting sentences that have not correctly capitalized them. Each sentence on the page will have at least one proper noun that has been left in all-lowercase, and you can select from either short, simple sentences, long, complex sentences, or both. To leverage the immediate nature of the web, our database of problems contains a number of sentences that refer to people and places that are related to current events. This can make the activity a little more interesting than if we used generic proper nouns.
