1. Seeing the differences between the two
types of nouns.
2. Being able to label what type of noun is
being used.
Assessment Prompts
In order to complete our two lesson essential
questions the students will learn the definitions of
both common and proper nouns to see that there is
a difference between the two nouns. The
definitions will have examples with them to show
there is a difference between common and proper
nouns such as girl and the name Emily. After
going through the definitions and examples there
will be three engaging activities where students
have to sort and figure out which noun is common
in which noun is proper and put it in the correct
area for the now we are looking for.
Activating Strategy
The activating strategy for this lesson will be a
think aloud where students will talk within their
groups to come up with the definition of what a
noun is from previous lessons. Then we will have
a quick discussion on when everyone came up
with within their groups and then we will move
onto the lesson.
Teaching Strategy
this lesson will be a very modeled lesson where I
will give students the definitions and the examples
and then I will give them time in their groups to
think discuss which noun they believe is common
and which noun is proper so during the
engagement strategy students will be able to
volunteer to come up to the board to show their
learning. Will be a lot of discussion and repetition
throughout the lesson so students can come to the
understanding that there is a difference between
the two nouns and then after the whole group
activity there will be an individual group activity
where students will put their own thinking to the
task then have to sort their own nouns and then
complete the activity to make the noun tree
correctly. The differentiation in this lesson are the
words that were used for the Nouns and that
before students start gluing down the pieces to the
activity they will raise her hand and show The
nouns they had sorted for correction and if they
have any problems they will be able to talk to the
teacher.
Vocabulary
common nouns and proper nouns
Summary
The summary for this lesson is students will be
creating a noun tree where they will be
demonstrating their knowledge of common and
proper nouns by sorting nouns and placing them
under the correct column of either common
improper gluing them onto different pre cut leaves
and then pasting them to a tree where in either
corner of the paper was a common improper to
show they understand the difference between the
nouns.
