#### Lesson Outline:
1. **Introduction (10 minutes)**

2. **Interactive Discussion (10 minutes)**
- Show flashcards with images of different receptacles.
- Ask students to identify each receptacle and discuss what it can hold. For example, "What do we put in a box?"
- Ensure students understand the concept by providing additional examples.
3. **Group Activity (15 minutes)**
- Divide the class into small groups.
- Give each group a set of receptacle items and corresponding word strips.
- Instruct the groups to match each item with the correct word strip.
- Have each group present their matched items and words to the class.
4. **Direct Instruction (10 minutes)**
- Go over the correct usage of receptacle nouns in sentences.

- Write 3-4 sample sentences on the whiteboard and read them aloud.
5. **Guided Practice (10 minutes)**
- Distribute worksheets with sentences that have missing nouns for receptacles.
- Work through a few examples together as a class.
- Allow students to complete the rest of the worksheet independently or in pairs.
6. **Independent Practice (10 minutes)**
- Ask students to write 3 sentences using different receptacles. For instance, "The basket holds the apples," "The bottle holds the milk," and "The can holds the soup."
- Collect the sentences for evaluation.
7. **Review and Conclusion (5 minutes)**

#### Assessment:
- Participation in group activity and discussion.
- Accuracy and completeness of the worksheet.
- Ability to write correct sentences using receptacle nouns.
#### Differentiation:
- Provide visual aids and real-life examples for students who need additional support.
- Pair struggling students with peers who can assist them during group activities.
- Offer advanced students the task of writing a short paragraph that includes multiple receptacles.
#### Homework (Optional):
- Ask students to find and list five receptacles at home and describe what they hold. Example: "The jar in my kitchen holds cookies."
### Reflection:
- Observe if the students can correctly identify and use receptacle nouns.
- Note any common errors or difficulties students may have and plan to revisit those areas in future lessons.
