1. Introduction (3 minutes)
Start with an animated scene or a short story involving various kinds of nouns (e.g., "Once upon a time in a bustling city, Hari and his team went to a
park to play a game of cricket.").
Pose a question: “Can you spot the nouns in this story? What do they represent?”
o Common Nouns: Show pictures (e.g., a boy, a bridge) and explain their general nature.
o Proper Nouns: Highlight names like "Hari" or "India," emphasizing capitalization rules.
o Abstract Nouns: Use animations to represent intangible ideas like "courage" or "happiness."
o Collective Nouns: Display images of groups (e.g., a flock of birds, a jury) with definitions.
4. Conclusion (3 minutes)
Encourage students to write down two examples of each type of noun from their environment.
Teacher’s Script:
"Hello, everyone! Today, we’ll dive into the exciting world of nouns. Let’s start with a quick story… Can you spot the nouns here? Let’s analyze them
together!"
[Show visuals and provide definitions.]
"Now, let’s test your understanding with a fun quiz. Ready?"
[Engage students in the interactive activity.]
"Great job! Remember, nouns are everywhere. Can you spot some around you today? See you next time!"
