Lesson Plan:

T: Ok class, let's review: Who's the man?

S: He's an english teacher.

T: What is the man holding in his right hand?

S: It's an apostrophe.

T: Whose apostrophe?

S:  It's "its" apostrophe!

T: Ok class is over.

Chinese Teacher: No, you're wrong. "Its" is a non-living thing. So the answer should be: It's the apostrophe of "its."
