Prior to the start of the class, the teacher writes a list of common and proper nouns on sticky notes and places them around the classroom.  

The teacher will play a quick game called “Noun – Not a Noun”.  Students will be given a word and if it is a noun, they will say. “Yes Ma’am” and if it is not a noun, they will say, “No Ma’am”.  Example; bed, house, walk, laugh, car, apple, small, jump,

The teacher will correct any misconceptions. If a student misidentifies a word, have him or her go through the noun checklist. Is it a person, a place or a thing? After, students will be told that today’s class will be about two types of nouns: Common Nouns and Proper Nouns.
