Introduction

Welcome students to the lesson.

Today, we are going to be learning about proper nouns. A proper noun is a person, place, or thing. We can use them when we talk, write stories, and learn about different places and people around the world.

Outline

1. Introduce the concept of proper nouns
2. Describe what a proper noun is and provide examples
3. Use video resources to explore proper nouns
4. Balance oral and written exploration of proper nouns
5. Allow children to practice using proper nouns
6. Summarise the concept of proper nouns

Questioning

Questions can be posed throughout the lesson to engage students and ensure understanding. Some examples include:

1. What are some examples of proper nouns?
2. What is the difference between common nouns and proper nouns?
3. Can you think of a proper noun to fill in this sentence?

Assessment

Assess understanding of proper nouns with a written activity. Provide students with a worksheet containing several sentences in which they must fill in the blanks with proper nouns.

Differentiation

For younger students, provide visuals to supplement the lesson. For example, a diagram illustrating common nouns, proper nouns, and examples of each.

For more advanced students, provide additional worksheets that require students to write sentences using proper nouns.

Plenary

Have students summarise what they learned during the lesson. Make sure to refer back to the introduction where the concept of proper nouns was first introduced.
