Instruction: ___20_____ Minutes

Students will take notes from an interactive smart board presentation. I will introduce
possessive pronouns. I will explain that possessive pronouns are used in place of a
possessive noun and show ownership of something. I will explain that there are singular
and plural possessive pronouns and explain by picking up one students book and
saying This book is his. I will then ask students if pronoun is singular or plural. Next, I
will pick up two students books and do the same thing. I will give students a chart of all
the possessive pronouns, and I will model for them explaining how I would go about
finding the possessive pronoun in the sentence. Next, each student will come up to the
smartboard to complete interactive examples.

Structured Practice and Application: __30_____ Minutes

Students will participate in a possessive pronoun gallery walk. I will have possessive
pronoun task cards posted around the room that contain questions about possessive
pronouns. Students will have to fill in the answers to the questions on their individual
answer sheets. As students are participating in the gallery walk, I will walk around the
room to assist struggling students.

Closure: ___5___ Minutes

At the end the lesson, I will orally review the possessive pronouns we have been
discussing. I will pass out a ticket out the door for students to complete. I will take it up
before the students leave class.
