Lesson Objectives:
SWB write singular nouns into plural nouns by adding -s or -es.
SWB write singular nouns into plural nouns by dropping -y and adding -ies.
SWB write singular nouns into plural nouns by dropping -f or -fe and adding -ves.
Informing Learners of the Objectives: What will students be able to do at the end of this lesson?
Today we will be able to…. write singular nouns into plural nouns by adding -s or -es, write
singular nouns into plural nouns by dropping -y and adding -ies, and write singular nouns into
plural nouns by dropping -f or -fe and adding -ves.
Relevancy: Did you state solid reasons why this lesson is important for the learner?
It is important to know how to write and read different plural nouns to become a strong reader. Also, if your mom
texts you that you could have dessert and she sends you a text that you can have cookies instead of cookie you
would have to know what the plural form is so you can have more than one cookie.
Recall and Review of Prior Knowledge:Do you need to review a previous lesson? Can you connect this to
students' background knowledge?
I will recall their knowledge from the last two lessons we did in our unit to review plural nouns.
Presenting the New Material: Teach the objectives through lecture, demonstration, investigation, inquiry,
cooperative learning, etc.
I will be teaching the main concepts of grammar during my center rotation. I will explain to the students that we
have 4 center rotations. I will explain each rotation to the students before beginning the centers.
- Rotation #1 is with me where I will be working with a group on writing singular nouns into plural nouns.
Each student will have a whiteboard and two expo markers. I will tell them a word and they will write down
the plural form of that noun. If I notice students are struggling, especially with the nouns that letters have
to be changed to make it plural, we will use the second colored expo marker to visualize the crossing out
of a letter to replace it with -ies.
- Rotation #2 Roll-a-story: students will be using dice to roll and create a story with a subject, setting, and
an event. After writing their story, they will illustrate their created story.
- Rotation #3 Color-by-Code: students will be using a color-by-code worksheet to correctly color in the
plural nouns with the correct ending (-s,-es, or -ies).
- Rotation #4 Silent Reading: Students will be choosing a book of their choice and will be silent reading. If a
student has trouble with silent reading, they can whisper read with a partner.
Each student will flow through every rotation.
Eliciting the Desired Behavior: How do you engage your students in practicing the new material?
Guided Practice: Students will work with me to correctly change singular nouns into plural nouns. I picked words
that students might see in day-to-day life and words relating to their favorite activities like sports.
Independent Practice: The independent practice will be the three other rotations where they will quietly be
working on their roll-a-story, color-by-code, or silent reading. If they finish one of those tasks before the 10 minutes
is up they are allowed to work on other independent work in their desk or study for their memory quiz.
Feedback: Feedback will be seen when students are participating in creating the plural nouns
on the whiteboards, the roll-a-story worksheets, the color-by-code worksheets, and silently
reading.
