Pronouns

Title: Pronouns

Grade Level: First Grade

How I would use this in my classroom: I would show this video in my classroom right after I introduced the concept of replacing nouns with pronouns. I think this video makes things simple, fun, and easy to understand for younger children. It also offers good visuals so the students can see a concrete example of what it really means to replace the nouns with the pronouns and using them in the correct context.

How the students will benefit from viewing this video: From this video the students will now understand the concept of using these new words to replace longer proper nouns while writing or speaking. Some students tend to repeat the same words, such as names and places, so they will now know there are other options they can use rather than repeating the same words over and over again.

Common Core State Standard: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.1.1d Use personal, possessive, and indefinite pronouns (e.g., I, me, my; they, them, their, anyone, everything).
