Introduction: Start the lesson by asking the children if they know what a noun is. Explain that a noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, or idea. Then, introduce the concept of proper nouns. Explain that proper nouns are specific names of people, places, or things, and they always begin with a capital letter.

Lesson Outline: 1. Introduce proper nouns and explain the difference between common and proper nouns. 2. Provide examples of proper nouns, such as names of people, cities, countries, and brands. 3. Use a worksheet or interactive activity to help children identify proper nouns in sentences. 4. Play a game where children take turns naming proper nouns and identifying the category they belong to (person, place, or thing). 5. Provide a writing activity where children write a short story using proper nouns.

Questioning: 1. What is a proper noun? 2. Can you give an example of a proper noun? 3. How do you know if a word is a proper noun? 4. Can you identify the proper nouns in this sentence? 5. Can you think of a proper noun that starts with the letter “B”?

Assessment: Use a worksheet or interactive activity to assess children’s understanding of proper nouns. Provide feedback and support as needed.

Differentiation: For children who need extra support, provide visual aids such as pictures or flashcards to help them identify proper nouns. For children who need a challenge, provide more complex sentences or ask them to identify proper nouns in a paragraph.

Plenary: Review the concept of proper nouns and ask children to share one proper noun they learned today. Encourage them to use proper nouns in their writing and speech.
