Step 1: Introduction (10 minutes)
Begin the lesson by writing the following sentence on the board: 'The cat chased the mouse.'
Ask students to identify the words in the sentence that represent people, places, things, or ideas. Write their responses on the board.
Explain that words that represent people, places, things, or ideas are called nouns. Write the definition of nouns on the board: 'Nouns are words that name people, places, things, or ideas.'
Step 2: Nouns (15 minutes)
Provide examples of different types of nouns, such as common nouns (e.g., cat, mouse) and proper nouns (e.g., New York, John).
Ask students to brainstorm more examples of nouns and write them on chart paper.
Divide the class into small groups and distribute index cards. Instruct each group to write a noun on their index card and pass it to another group. The receiving group must use the noun in a sentence.
Have each group share their sentences with the class.
Step 3: Pronouns (15 minutes)
Explain that pronouns are words that take the place of nouns in sentences. Write the definition of pronouns on the board: 'Pronouns are words that take the place of nouns.'
Provide examples of pronouns, such as he, she, it, they, we, and you.
Ask students to identify pronouns in sentences and replace them with the nouns they represent.
Divide the class into pairs and distribute printed worksheets. Instruct students to complete the sentences on the worksheet by replacing the underlined nouns with pronouns.
Step 4: Assessment (10 minutes)
Conduct a quick assessment by giving each student a sentence and asking them to identify the noun and pronoun in the sentence.
Review the answers as a class and provide feedback.
