Instructional Ideas
- Use the activity after a grammar lesson on pronouns and parts of speech
- Have class members provide their own examples of each type of pronoun in addition to the provided words
Classroom Considerations
- The lesson prompts learners to match Post-it® notes with the category of pronouns to lists of pronouns, but it would be more effective to reverse the activity and give class members examples of pronouns to match to a poster with the category written on the top
- Consider specifying the difference between personal and possessive pronouns
- Modify the activity to avoid embarrassing learners who are incorrect
Pros
- Encourages group discussion and critical thinking skills
- Allows pupils to leave their seats, faciliating more styles of learning and engagment
Cons
- The presentation only works in conjunction with the lesson, and can be difficult to understand due to graphics and images
