Introduction:

Welcome class! Today we are going to talk about a very important English topic: proper nouns. Before we start, let’s review nouns – nouns are words that name a person, place, thing, or idea.

Lesson Outline:

1. What is a proper noun? Explain that a proper noun is a special type of noun which names a specific person, place, organization, or thing. Show examples (whole class discussion).

2. Practice activity: Have students take turns naming proper nouns. Provide examples if necessary.

3. Introduce proper nouns components (adjectives, titles, names). Explain how each of these components plays a role in forming a proper noun.

4. Group activity: Have students work in groups of two or three to create lists of proper nouns that includes adjectives, titles, and names.

5. Introduce capitalization rules and practice activity: Have students identify proper nouns that need to be capitalized in a given sentence.

Questions:
