Introduction: Greet the class and introduce the lesson by explaining the concept of a proper noun. Explain that a proper noun is the special name of a person, place, thing, or idea – not the common name. It is always the first letter of a proper noun that is capitalized. Show examples of proper nouns.

Lesson Outline: - Discussion: Ask the class to share some of the proper nouns they already know. Discuss where we can find proper nouns in a text or conversation. - Worksheets: Provide worksheets on proper nouns. Direct the class to identify the proper nouns and fill in the blanks. These can be found here:

• Videos: Show some short, interactive clips to reinforce the concept. Here are some examples:

Questioning: Challenge the students with some questions that will require them to think deeper. For example, ask them to name a proper noun related to a given topic, to differentiate between proper and common nouns, or to identify a proper noun in a text.

Assessment: Evaluate the students’ grasping of the concept and assess their understanding. Have them write sentences with proper nouns and ask them to explain why they capitalized certain words.

Differentiation: Allow students who require additional support to have extra time to answer questions or need help with certain concepts. However, continue to challenge those who have a good understanding of the topic.

Plenary: Close the lesson by asking the class to come up with a list of proper nouns. Recap the lesson by summarizing the concept of proper nouns. Finish by asking for any questions the students may have.
