Introduction:

Today we will be talking about proper nouns. A proper noun is a unique, specific name given to a person, place, or thing. It is important to use proper nouns correctly when writing and speaking so that we are being specific about who, what, where and when we are talking about.

Lesson Outline:

  1. Introduce the term ‘proper nouns’ and explain what they are in kid-friendly language.
  2. Watch a video together and pause to discuss when proper nouns are used. [Link: https://safeshare.tv/x/ss5d65f44178a25]

  4. Discuss the importance of capitalizing proper nouns.
  5. Give students a worksheet with questions they can answer individually or in a group. [Link: https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/t-l-525-practise-making-proper-nouns-worksheet]

Questioning:

Throughout the lesson, teachers should use open-ended questions to check for understanding and get students thinking about the subject. Examples of questions to ask: • What do you think proper nouns are? • Can you give an example of a proper noun? • Why is it important to use proper nouns? • How can you identify a proper noun in a sentence?

Assessment:

At the end of the lesson, teachers can assess student understanding by having them write a paragraph about a family member using proper nouns correctly.

Differentiation:

• For students who need more support, teachers can provide a list of proper nouns that students can identify and use in the worksheet activities. • Students who are more advanced can be given more challenging worksheets with longer sentences and more complex questions.

Plenary:

For the plenary, have students discuss with a partner why it is important to use proper nouns correctly. Then have each student come up with one sentence that includes a proper noun that they can share with the class.

Overall, this lesson plan for primary 3 children on proper nouns will provide an understanding of what a proper noun is, how to identify them, and why they are important to use correctly. Using the resources provided in this lesson plan, students will be able to gain a deeper understanding of how to correctly use proper nouns.
