The Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show

This year the Super Bowl was played by the Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos. What was supposed to be a game of the ages turned out to be a complete blowout, showing the country that the Seahawks were clearly the most complete team in the league. Since the game was a blowout, viewers were looking towards other parts of the event to bring entertainment. Between a blowout in the game and below average commercials, viewers like me were left feeling a bit unsatisfied by the evening, that is until Bruno Mars stepped to the stage for the halftime show. In past years the halftime show has been a huge festivity that has gotten received mixed reactions from viewers. Who can forget the world of drama the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction brought to the country during the 2002 halftime show or last year when BeyoncĂ© put on a performance that made people forget there was a game being played all together. This year, young Bruno Mars had the task of following up BeyoncĂ©'s stellar performance in the first outdoor Super Bowl played in the northeast part of the country. Fighting cold temperatures, Bruno came out and put on a great performance that had fans of all ages jumping and dancing. His soulful sound reminded many of a legend by the name of Michael Jackson as he sang and danced around the stage with fellow band members. Mars was joined on state for a song with the Red Hot Chili Pepper, which in my opinion was fantastic.

Grammar Point: When do we use capital letters

We use capital letters at the beginning of each sentence, for the first letter of a proper noun and when we speak about ourselves using the word "I".

Example of sentence: We are going to the mall tomorrow.
Example of proper noun: Bruno Mars, New York, Monday

Students will identify the words that need to be capitalized and they will correct any words that are capitalized incorrectly:

1. I am afraid to Go on stage by myself.
2. have a fantastic day.
3. I am unsatisfied with my grade.
