Introduction: Begin the lesson by asking the children to share any words they can think of. Discuss the fact that some words are specific and need to be written with a capital letter. Explain that these are called proper nouns and point out some examples they may be familiar with, such as their own names, the names of their families and classmates, the name of their school and city, etc.

Lesson Outline: 1. Introduce the concept of proper nouns and explain the rule of using a capital letter for each. 2. Watch this video with the class to demonstrate examples of proper and common nouns in different contexts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilQiWfp-VPI 3. Give the class some practice sentences to identify which words need to be written with a capital letter. Ask them to complete this worksheet (https://www.slideshare.net/teochei/proper-nouns-worksheet) individually or in small groups and then go over the answers together. 4.If time allows, assign additional practice activities where the students can apply their knowledge.

Questioning: Encourage the children to use their own examples in their answers and ask questions that stimulate creative thinking. For example, ask them what they think the capital letter should be for a name like ‘james’ or ‘john’.

Assessment: Evaluate the students’ understanding by using formative assessment techniques, such as verbal questioning or having them work on simple, open-ended tasks.

Differentiation: Differentiate instruction to meet the different needs and abilities of the students in the class. For example, you can provide additional worksheets and practice activities for the more advanced students, or extra time for those who are struggling.

Plenary: Summarize the main points that were discussed during the lesson and ask the students to give some examples of proper nouns they learned.
