Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

- Proper nouns to refer to organisations/events;
- Count/non-count
- Singular
- Plural (regular, irregular)
- Without plural marker
- Revise all the types of nouns (refer to B1- B5).
- Provide learners with opportunities to further practise using these nouns.
E.g. a. Learners take their reading books and identify and make a list of these nouns, use them in sentences and present their work to the class for feedback. b. Use a language drill to help learners do practice activities.
E.g. Pair Drill for singular/plural nouns
- Learner "A" gives a noun - mango
- Learner "B" gives its plural form "mangoes" and uses it in a sentence - I love mangoes.
C - Learners play the "Lucky Dip game" for practice. Learners take turns to dip their hands into a box containing words of collective nouns, pick a card and use the word in a sentence.
E.g. a team of horses, a bevy of ladies, a flock of sheep D - Learners can look for types of nouns using the internet and use them in sentences. Provide further practice activities to build on learners' knowledge on nouns.
