Introduction:

Introduce the concept of Proper Nouns to the students by engaging them in an introductory activity. Ask each student to stand up and say their name. Explain to students that their name is a unique name that nobody else has and that it is considered a Proper Noun. Ask them why it is called a Proper Noun and explain that it is because the noun is “proper,” meaning it is specific and exact.
