Innovative grammar Activity-" Common Noun vs Proper Noun

-
Topic: Common Nouns vs Proper Nouns
Skills: Grammar, Speaking Reading, and Creative Expression.
Grade: 4th.


                                   Grammar is a very difficult part to teach and also learn to children. We cannot teach grammar in a formal way to the primary children since they don't have such cognitive capacity to understand the rules. So we should teach in a contextual way. We derive the content from known to unknown and establish the rules finally. So I always plan and develop different innovative activities to teach grammar topics for my primary students.

I panned this activity to teach Common and Proper Nouns for my 4th-grade children. I designed this worksheet to understand the topic easily and attract them towards the class. Once I gave an explanation about the Common and Proper Nouns, I played them a language game. 

Language game: “Sit and stand” 
  •  It’s a just a simple sit and stand game. 
  •  If you say sit children will sit, say stand they will stand. 
  •  But here, if you say a common noun, children will sit, if you say proper noun children will stand. 
So this game helped them understand the nouns and also remember easily. 

               Later, I told them that we are going to do an activity on this in the next period. In the next period, I gave this worksheet along with the A4 size chart piece. I asked my students to paste the worksheet on the chart and colour the pictures and letters. And I instructed them to cut along the line of the windows to make them open. 
                     Then I told my children to divide every window into two sections one is for common noun and the second one is for proper noun and put the headings also. Then I told them that write the Common and Proper Nouns of the topic that was labelled on the window. (Person, Place, Thing, and Animal are labelled on the windows). I facilitated them to complete the task themselves. Finally I told them to read and present. You can watch my children's presentation in the below video. I hope you enjoy the activity and plan to do in your class.

Topic: Talk about your house Lesson: My house and my family Grade: Primary Skills: Speaking and vocabulary                      When teachers use activities that make learning engaging and fun, students are more willing to participate and take risks. Having fun while learning also helps students retain information better because the process is enjoyable and memorable. So planning such activities help students to participate actively in the learning process.  Here is a simple and creative house model to make students talk about their house. And also a very effective model to teach and learn the vocabulary related to a house. I have seen this in the PINTEREST and made this for my class.

2 Writing tasks to help learners write better in an understandable way.

Topic: Techniques for writing tasks, Skill Focused: Writing, Grade: Primary and Lower Secondary.                          Supporting students to tune into the creativity needed for writing through a range of experiences is key to developing imagination and ideas for writing in all forms. Actually, writing is intricately linked to critical thinking. It also has implications for performance across all areas of the language. Writing is how a child shows what he or she knows and what has been learned. When we ask students to write, often we are just testing their skills rather than teaching them how to write or how to improve their writing.                     Sometimes, stating clear rules and expectations is just not enough. It may not work for all your students. That’s why you should also take a “lighter” path. What does that mean? It means that you can use non-intrusive mot...
