Introduction

(5 minutes)
  • Present students with a riddle: I’m made of glass, this much is true. But when you look, you won’t see through. Reflect on this, and you’ll have a clue!
  • Give students time to think about their answer.
  • Allow students to make guesses.
  • Tell students that the correct answer to the riddle is a mirror.
  • Prompt students to talk to their shoulder partners about the job of a mirror.
  • Accept student answers and explain that today’s pronoun lesson is connected to mirrors because of what a mirror is made to do. A mirror’s job is to reflect back to you. Today’s lesson covers a type of pronoun that reflects, too.
