Introduction: | First Section of Lesson: The instructor will begin by posting a list of pronouns and asking the students what types of words they are. The instructor will review with the students what pronouns are and how they are used. |
Development: | First Section of Lesson: The instructor will model by reading a paragraph to the students that has been written using only nouns, and then discuss with the students: what they noticed about the paragraph; whether or not they found it easy to follow; and do they have any ideas about what could be changed to make it more understandable. The instructor will again model by reading the same paragraph that has had most of the nouns replaced with pronouns, and then discuss with the students: what they noticed to be different about the second paragraph compared with the first; how changing the nouns to pronouns helped the writer's word flow smoother. Second Section of Lesson: The instructor will model to the students by reading a group of combined pronoun sentences to the student: first reading each sentence using incorrect pronoun usage, followed by reading the same sentence using correct pronoun usage. The instructor will show students examples of pronouns with verbs and explain to them the exceptions to the rules; then explain how combining pronouns can change those rules. |
