Introduction: Today, we’re going to be learning about Proper Nouns! Proper Nouns are the specific names we give to people, places and objects. Can anyone give me an example of something that we might use a proper noun for? (Wait for responses) That’s right! We can use proper nouns to refer to people like our name, places like Birmingham and New York, and objects like the Taj Mahal.

Lesson Outline: To understand proper nouns better, let’s watch a fun video about them. (Watch fun video about proper nouns)

Now, let’s practice using proper nouns! I’d like you to practice writing proper nouns on the worksheet. (Distribute worksheet and discuss the worksheet as a class).

Now let’s have fun with proper nouns. I’d like everyone to write a short story or poem and make sure to include at least 10 proper nouns in it.

Questioning: During the lesson, I’ll ask you some questions to assess your understanding of proper nouns. For example, what is a proper noun? Can you give me an example of a proper noun?

Assessment: At the end of the lesson, I’ll ask each of you to tell me the story or poem you wrote and to explain why each word you used is a proper noun.

Differentiation: For those who may struggle with writing a story or poem, I’ll provide visual aids that allow them to practice writing proper nouns as well as multiple choice questions.

Plenary: For the plenary activity, I’d like each of you to come up with a list of at least 10 proper nouns and explain why each one is a proper noun.
