Introduction: Begin the lesson by asking the children if they know what a noun is. Explain that a noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, or idea. Then, introduce the concept of proper nouns, which are specific names of people, places, or things.

Lesson Outline: 1. Define proper nouns and give examples (e.g. John, London, Eiffel Tower). 2. Explain that proper nouns always begin with a capital letter. 3. Show examples of proper nouns in sentences and ask the children to identify them. 4. Have the children practice identifying proper nouns in sentences. 5. Provide examples of common nouns and ask the children to differentiate between common and proper nouns. 6. Have the children create their own sentences using proper nouns.

Questioning: 1. What is a proper noun? 2. Can you give an example of a proper noun? 3. How do you know when a word is a proper noun? 4. Can you differentiate between a common noun and a proper noun? 5. Can you create a sentence using a proper noun?

Assessment: To assess the children’s understanding of proper nouns, have them complete a worksheet where they must identify proper nouns in sentences. You can use this worksheet from Education.com.

Differentiation: For children who need extra support, provide them with a list of proper nouns to use in their sentences. For children who need a challenge, have them create a story using as many proper nouns as possible.

Plenary: To end the lesson, have the children share their sentences with the class. Ask them to identify the proper nouns in each sentence and explain why they are proper nouns. You can also use this video from Grammaropolis to reinforce the concept of proper nouns.
