PLENTY OF PRONOUNS

Truth to Teach (Source)

¾ Review Y4 work on pronouns

¾ Pronouns can take the place of a noun; they are substitutes

¾ Every sentence has a noun or a pronoun

¾ Pronouns are singular or plural

¾ Personal pronouns replace the names of people or things

¾ Possessive pronouns are used to indicate belonging

Way to Work (Means)

1. Review previous lessons.

2. Read the following: -

Jesus said, “Jesus is the Good Shepherd. Jesus knows Jesus’ sheep and
Jesus’ sheep know Jesus.”

Discuss the role of a pronoun in replacing nouns to help a sentence flow
easily. Read out the following asking the children to identify the pronouns.

Jesus said, “I am the Good Shepherd. I know my sheep and they know
me.”

3. Hand around a bag of pronouns for the children to put into sentences. In a

large class, this could be done in pairs (see separate sheet).

4. Create lists of singular and plural pronouns on the board.

5. Create lists of personal pronouns and possessive pronouns.
