**Lesson Plan: Expressing Ownership (Primary 2)**
**Objective:**
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to identify and correctly use possessive nouns and pronouns to express ownership.
**Materials Needed:**
- Whiteboard and markers
- Picture flashcards (e.g., a boy with a ball, a girl with a book, etc.)
- "Tom's New Toy" story (printed or projected)
- Worksheets with exercises on possessive nouns and pronouns
- Crayons or colored pencils
- "Our Classroom" poster (a large poster divided into sections for students to draw in)
**Lesson Duration:**
45 minutes
**Lesson Breakdown:**
**1. Warm-Up (5 minutes)**
- Begin with a brief discussion. Ask students if they know what it means to ‘own’ something.
- Show some picture flashcards and ask questions like, “Whose ball is this?” to elicit responses such as “It’s the boy’s ball.”
**2. Introduction to Possessives (10 minutes)**
- Write some sentences on the board, like “This is Sarah’s book” and “This is his book.”
- Explain that words like ‘Sarah’s’ and ‘his’ show who owns the book.
- Introduce terms: possessive nouns (e.g., Sarah’s, Tom’s) and possessive pronouns (e.g., his, her).
**3. Reading and Application (10 minutes)**
- Read the short story “Tom’s New Toy” to the class. Make sure to emphasize possessive words.
- After reading, discuss the story and highlight sentences that express ownership. E.g., “Tom’s toy,” “his toy.”
**4. Guided Practice (10 minutes)**
- Give students worksheets with simple exercises. For example, fill in the blanks: “This is ____ (Tom) toy,” and provide pictures for context.
**5. Creative Activity (5 minutes)**
- Give each student a section of the “Our Classroom” poster.
- Ask students to draw something they own and write a sentence about it using possessive nouns or pronouns, e.g., “This is my pencil,” “Jane’s book is blue.”
**6. Review and Conclusion (5 minutes)**
- Briefly review what they have learned about possessives.
- Encourage students to share their drawings and sentences with the class.
- Praise participation and correct usage.
**Assessment:**
- Observe students during the activities and discussions.
- Review the worksheets and creative activity for accuracy in expressing ownership.
**Homework:**
- Ask students to bring one item from home the next day and be ready to talk about it using possessive language, such as “This is my toy” or “This is my brother’s book.”
**Extensions (Optional):**
- Use a game where students pass around objects and the class must guess: “Whose object is this?”
- Create a classroom chart that categorizes items based on ownership, i.e., “Tom’s”, “Sarah’s”, “Class’s”.
