Lesson plan: First grade, What is a Noun?

Concept to teach:

● How can we easily identify nouns?

General Goal:

● To allow students to understand what a noun is and how it differs from other

parts of speech

Objectives:

● Students will be able to define what a noun is.

● Students will be able to give examples of nouns.

● Students will be able to use nouns in sentences while speaking and writing.

Required Material:

● Pencil

● Paper

● Chromebook with charger

● Sticky note

Anticipatory Set: I will begin my lesson by using many different nouns repeatedly to get

them into my students head, then I will explain to them that a noun is a person, a place,

or a thing, and encourage them to think of something that matches the description of a

noun. After each student thinks of something and writes it down on their sticky note I will

separate the whiteboard into three different spaces, person, place, and thing. Once this

is done, I will have each student come up to the board and place their sticky note where

they think it fits best. Once all sticky notes are on the board we will discuss the results.

Step by Step Procedure:

 ● We will go through our presentation and complete all examples listed

● Students will then complete the brain break noun activity, which is a game that

teaches them what nouns are.

● I will then go over any questions that the students may have.

● I will go over the worksheet assignment that is assigned to them on canvas

● Students will then be given time to complete the small assignment.

Independent Practice: After I am done with the powerpoint, students will be directed

back over to canvas where they will find their Independent practice assignment.

Students will work individually to read the questions, after reading the questions

students will be instructed to underline all of the nouns used in each sentence. Once the

student has completed this assignment they will turn it in and wait for grading. Each

student's scores will tell me which students may need a bit more time to grasp the

lesson.

Special Needs Accomodation: If a student is having a hard time reading and

comprehending them they will be able to use ClaroSpeak. ClaroSpeak is a screen

reader for children that has many different settings, and allows you to set the pace for

how fast the reader is speaking in order to make comprehension easier for the students.

Assessment: Students will be instructed to follow the link on the canvas page that takes

them to a mini quiz about nouns. Students will go through the few multiple choice

questions and answer, then they will answer the last question which is asking if they

have any extra questions about nouns. Depending on how each student does on this

test will determine how quickly I move on to another part of speech.

Closure: Today in class we learned about different ways to identify nouns and how to

use them in a sentence. Before we leave the classroom, each student will receive a

sticky note and will write their name on the sticky note. Then the students will go around

the classroom and write down three different nouns that they see. Once they are done

they will turn the sticky note into me so I can see which students understand and which

students need extra help.
