Grade 3 English Language Lesson Plan: Mastering Apostrophes
for Possessive Nouns
Strand: Grammar and Conventions
Objective:
By the end of this lesson, students will be able to demonstrate appropriate use
of the apostrophe when writing possessive nouns.
Engage
(5 minutes):
- Greet
the students and explain the aim of the lesson: to understand and
correctly use apostrophes when writing possessive nouns.
- Define
possessive nouns as nouns that show ownership or possession.
- Show
examples of possessive nouns using flashcards (e.g., "the cat's
tail," "Tom's book").
Explore
(10 minutes):
- Explain
the role of the apostrophe in forming possessive nouns.
- Discuss
the two main uses of the apostrophe: to show possession (e.g., the dog's
bone) and to indicate contraction (e.g., can't, didn't).
- Emphasize
that the apostrophe is placed before the "s" to show possession
for singular nouns, and after the "s" for plural nouns.
- Have
students watch a video clip on teacher’s blogsite for further clarity and
explanation.
·
Present sentences on the whiteboard
with missing apostrophes for possessive nouns.
·
Allow students to discuss in pairs
or small groups where they think the apostrophe should go and why.

Encourage students to think about
why we use apostrophes and how they change the meaning of the sentence.
Explain
(15 minutes):
·
Provide a clear explanation of the
role of the apostrophe in forming possessive nouns in British English.

Elaborate
(10 minutes):

·
Instruct students to work
independently to identify the possessive nouns and insert the apostrophe in the
correct place. Students will work from teacher’s blogsite
·
Circulate the classroom to provide
assistance and feedback as needed.
Extend
(5 minutes):
·
Divide the class into pairs and
provide each pair with a different object.
·
Instruct students to create
sentences using possessive nouns to describe ownership of the object.
·
Have pairs share their sentences
with the class, focusing on correct apostrophe usage.
Conclusion
(5 minutes):
·
Review the correct use of
apostrophes in possessive nouns with the class.
·
Encourage students to practice using
apostrophes correctly in their writing.

Summarize the key points of the
lesson and address any remaining questions.
