For example, if the flashcard shows a cat, prompt them, "Whose cat is this?" (The answer should be something like "The girl's cat"). 2. **Write on the Board:** - Write a few sentences on the whiteboard with common nouns and ask students to come up and change them to possessive nouns. - Example: "The book of the boy" -> "The boy's book". #### Independent Practice (10 minutes) 1. **Worksheet Activity:** - Hand out worksheets where students need to rewrite sentences using possessive nouns. - Example: "The toy of the boy is new" -> "The boy's toy is new." 2. **Story Illustrations:** - Provide short story excerpts from children's books where they have to spot and underline possessive nouns. #### Closing Activity (10 minutes) 1. **Possessive Noun Game:** - Organize a small game where students form possessive nouns from given phrases. Divide them into two teams. One student from each team comes up, listens to a phrase (e.g., "The ball of the kid"), and writes the possessive noun (e.g., "The kid's ball") on the board. - Provide stickers or stars as rewards for correct answers. 2. **Review and Reflect:** - Summarize the key points of the lesson. - Review some of the examples given during the class. #### Homework Assignment (Optional) - Assign a simple homework activity where students list five items in their house and describe them using possessive nouns. (e.g., "Mom's chair", "Sister's toy"). ### Assessment - Observe students during the interactive flashcard activity and board exercises. - Review worksheets to check for understanding and correct use of possessive nouns. - Monitor participation and correctness in the closing game activity. ### Notes - Be patient with students as they may find the concept of possessive nouns challenging at first. - Ensure students get ample practice and provide immediate feedback. - Encourage students to ask questions if they're unsure about how to form possessive nouns.
