I can relate to what your saying. I've got two little ones and a home and three classes of senior students to think about. Time for blogging is often not there, not to mention I try to keep a blog for my family (haven't edited that one siced the summer).

Of course, my experience is in EFL teaching - but I used amongst other resources, The New First Aid in English. on amazon here. (Actually, that's a new edition - my parents have a copy that I stole from them, but it's about 20 years old - if not more).

I found that the first couple of weeks were easy - the kids were still awed by my leet Englsih skills and height (hey - who said that physical appearance wasn't important ?)

Have fun!

I have some ideas for apostrophes and commas at the UbD Educators wiki: http://ubdeducators.wikispaces.com/DanaUbDPlans. I also had a project once where I had students locate apostrophe errors out and about in their community -- they tend to be everywhere -- but I don't think I gave them enough time.
