Introduction: Good morning, everyone! Today our lesson will focus on proper nouns. Proper nouns are special words used to refer to individual people, places, things, companies, organizations and ideas. Let’s take a look at some examples on the red board.

Lesson Outline: 1. Begin by discussing what is a proper noun. 2. Introduce how proper nouns are capitalized. 3. Use online resources to teach children how to differentiate between proper and common nouns. 4. Guide students to identify and sort nouns into their two categories of proper and common nouns with worksheets and practice exercises. 5. Watch the video below to demonstrate the use of proper nouns in a sentence. 6. Have the children create sentences of their own with proper nouns.

Questioning: 1. What is a proper noun? 2. What should you do when you write a proper noun? 3. Can you tell me the difference between a proper noun and a common noun? 4. Can you give me an example of a proper noun? 5. Give me an example of a sentence with a proper noun in it.

Assessment: At the end of the lesson, students can be asked to write a short paragraph about a family member. They must include five proper nouns in the paragraph.

Differentiation: 1. Have less able students work in pairs to identify and categorize proper and common nouns with the online worksheets. 2. Have more able students create sentences with proper nouns using their own imagination.

Plenary: At the end of the lesson, students can participate in a class discussion on proper and common nouns, using examples they have gathered through the lesson.
