|ELA Lesson: Pronouns |Grade Level: 10 |
|Lesson Summary: For pre-assessment, the teacher will clarify the meaning of a pronoun and then explain that pronouns must agree with the previously named noun or |
|antecedent in number. The teacher will offer practice exercises demonstrating subject and object pronouns, as well as indefinite pronouns, and offer practice |
|exercises. Advanced Learners will compose a paragraph using antecedents correctly, and Struggling Learners will complete the final practice exercise. |
|Lesson Objectives: |
| |
|The students will know… |
|the use of a pronoun. |
|the use of an antecedent. |
| |
|The students will be able to… |

|Pre-Assessment: The teacher should clarify with students that a pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun. |
|Whole-Class Instruction |
|Materials Needed: PowerPoint sentences using pronoun/antecedent*; notebooks; pencils and pens. |
|Procedure: |
|Project the following sentences: John likes baseball. John is a pitcher. When John showed up for practice, the coach made John starting pitcher. |
| |
|Point out to students that antecedents refer back to a noun used in a previous sentence and can help a writer from repeating the noun too much. A pronoun has to |
|agree with, or use the singular or plural form of, the antecedent. |
| |
|Project the following: I sometimes wonder why the neighbors leave their dog out alone. The dog barks at everyone, and someday, he is going to jump the fence. |
| |
|Point out that their is correct because neighbors is plural. He is correct because dog is singular. |
| |
|Project the following: Everyone should express their opinions politely. |
| |
|Point out that Everyone is an indefinite pronoun. Point out that students might think of everyone (or everybody) as plural. Instruct them to pay attention to the |
|-one at the end of the word. Project the following to demonstrate how the sentence should be rewritten: Everyone should express his or her opinions politely. Or: |
|People should express their opinions politely. |
| |
|Remind students that they can either change the indefinite pronoun to a definite noun or use “his or her.” Some might think of “his or her” as wordy, but it is a |
|responsible way of including both men and women in writing. |
| |
|Project the following onto the board and ask students to revise: Keisha rides Keisha’s bike to school every day. People say he or she admire Keisha’s energy. |
|Keisha’s father says Keisha’s father is going to buy Keisha a new bike soon. The bike Keisha has now lost the bike she has now original color long ago. |
