Introduction

Welcome to today’s lesson on proper nouns! Today we will look at how to identify and use proper nouns correctly. We are going to learn about nouns and their different types, and how to apply a specific set of grammar rules to use proper nouns.

Lesson outline

  1. Introduction to nouns (5 minutes) - Explain to the class what nouns are and how they are used in sentences. - Show some examples of common nouns.

  2. Proper Nouns (10 minutes) - Explain to the class what proper nouns are, and how they are different from common nouns. - Show some examples of proper nouns (people, places, things). - Introduce the rules for writing proper nouns.

  3. Assessing Understanding (10 minutes) - Lead the class through a few examples of sentences which contain proper nouns, asking the class to identify the proper nouns in each sentence.

  4. Differentiated Practice (10 minutes) - Divide the class into two groups—those who require extra support, and those who require more of a challenge. - Provide each group with different activities relating to proper nouns (worksheets, online games, etc).

Questioning

Throughout the lesson, use probing questions to assess the students’ knowledge and to lead them to the desired outcome.

For example:

  • Can you give me an example of a proper noun?
  • What is a common noun?
  • What is a rule for how to write a proper noun?

Assessment

Assess each student’s understanding of the lesson by asking them to identify and write a few sentences containing proper nouns.

Differentiation

Differentiation is important in this lesson to ensure that all students can access the content and get the most out of the lesson. Therefore, activities should be planned that are appropriate for the different levels of student ability. This could include providing extra support or greater challenges depending on individual needs.

Plenary

To end the lesson, ask the class to provide examples of proper nouns and explain why they are special.
