Lesson: At the start of class, we corrected page 3 in their parts of speech packet.
Then we reviewed the difference between singular and plural nouns. The students wrote the following definitions in their flip-book.
- A singular noun is one noun.
- For example: dog, teacher, house
- A plural noun is more than one noun.
- For example: dogs, teachers, houses
The students completed page 4 in their packet to practice identifying singular and plural nouns.
Then we revisited their quick write from Friday. The students used highlighters to highlight every noun in their story. The students paired up and had to read their stories out loud without the nouns. I also read an excerpt from a book and skipped over all of the nouns. We quickly realized that nouns are essential to a good story, or the story doesn't make sense! The students chose their favorite noun from the story, and I collected several nouns that we will use in an activity on Friday.
Homework: None
