Students will be able to use the correct object pronoun to replace the noun in a sentence.
Introduction
(10 minutes)- Ask students, "What is a pronoun?" Encourage students to give examples of pronouns.
- Tell students that today they will be learning about a specific type of pronoun called an object pronoun.
- Inform students that you will be reading aloud a book about pronouns to them, and you want them to be listening for information specifically about the object pronouns.
- Read aloud I and You and Don't Forget Who: What is a Pronoun? by Brian P. Cleary.
- Stop periodically during the read aloud to make connections between the pronouns in the book and the examples students gave previously in the class discussion.
- Ask students to come up with their own definition of an object pronoun after reading the book.
- Collect student answers and combine to create a class definition.
- Explain to students that an object pronoun is a word that replaces a noun as the object of the sentence. An object pronoun usually comes after the verb (ie. the dog ate it off the floor) or a preposition (ie. the dog rode on the plane with him).
- Direct students' attention to the list of object pronouns in the classroom.
