Introduction:

Greet children and explain the purpose of the lesson: Today, we are going to learn about proper nouns. Proper nouns are the names of people, places, and things. We use them differently than common nouns in our writing, so we are going to learn what a proper noun is, where to find them and how to use them correctly in our writing.

Lesson outline:

• Explain what a proper noun is and why we use them in writing
• Introduce the various types of proper nouns
• Show examples of proper nouns
• Have students practice identifying proper nouns
• Demonstrate how to write proper nouns correctly in sentences

Questioning:

Use open-ended and closed-ended questions throughout the lesson to review the content and assess student understanding: - What is a proper noun? - Why do we need to use proper nouns in writing? - Can you think of any examples of proper nouns? - How are proper nouns written differently than common nouns?

Assessment:

Students can demonstrate their understanding in the following ways: - Identification of proper nouns - Completion of online worksheets to practice writing proper nouns correctly - Comparing and contrasting common nouns and proper nouns - Complete an independent writing task using proper nouns.

Differentiation:

Adapt lesson content to different learning levels and allow students to work at their own pace in order to accommodate diverse learning styles. - Provide visuals, such as posters and diagrams, for kinesthetic learners - Provide interactive video content and worksheets that are tailored to different learning levels - Allow students to take breaks or visit a quiet area during the lesson

Preliminary:

Review the lesson content and answer any questions students might have. Offer a quick quiz or assessment to review student understanding. Lastly, suggest some tasks that can be done independently or with a partner in order to reinforce their understanding of proper nouns.
