A. Introduction-
1. I will begin the lesson by doing a mixed review from their textbook.
The mixed review will cover what we went over yesterday

board: The judges looked carefully at the students' entries.

while the other plural nouns do not. |

B. Practice-
1. Students will be invited to look at the word emperor's. I will
ask a series of questions like, "Does this word mean one or more than
one emperor?" This will lead into a class discussion
|

C. Independent Practice-
1. We will begin by looking in the textbook at a chart that shows
examples of different kinds of mistakes writers make when using plural
and possessive nouns.
2. We will continue on in their text under the "More Practice" section
3. I will then begin an activity involving magazine pictures. I will
hold up various cutouts and as I describe each picture, I will model
statements that include possessive nouns. For example, "That cat's
fur is soft." I will ask questions about the visuals that students
are able to answer using possessive forms. For example, "What is blue
in this picture?" Answer: The man's shirt is blue. I will write on
the interactive board each possessive noun that the students use,
pointing out the placement of apostrophes. |

G. Closure-
1. I will ask the students what they learned today
2. Students will be given a worksheet from their workbooks as homework |
