### Lesson Structure
#### Introduction (10 minutes)
1. **Greeting and Warm-Up:**
- Welcome the students and briefly discuss what they learned in the previous class.
- Introduce the topic of the day: Possessive Nouns.
2. **Direct Instruction:**
- Explain what possessive nouns are: nouns that show ownership or belonging.
- Illustrate with simple examples: "The girl's cat" and "Dan's book".
- Explain the rule: to make a noun possessive, add an apostrophe and 's' (e.g., girl's, cat's).
#### Guided Practice (15 minutes)
1. **Interactive Flashcard Activity:**
- Display flashcards with pictures of common nouns (e.g., cat, boy, teacher).
- Ask students to form possessive nouns. 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.

### Notes
