Lesson Plan: Pronoun-Antecedent Agreement

Grade: 6
Subject: English
Duration: 45 minutes

Objective:
Students will be able to identify and use pronouns and their antecedents correctly, ensuring agreement
in number, gender, and person.

Materials:

 Whiteboard and markers

 Worksheets with exercises

 Example sentences

Introduction (10 minutes):

1. Warm-up Activity: Start with a simple explanation of pronouns (words that take the place of
nouns, e.g., he, she, it, they) and antecedents (the nouns that pronouns replace).

2. Definition: Define pronoun-antecedent agreement as the need for pronouns to match their
antecedents in number (singular/plural), gender (male/female/neutral), and person
(first/second/third).

Direct Instruction (10 minutes):

1. Pronoun-Antecedent Agreement Rules:

o Number Agreement: A singular pronoun must refer to a singular antecedent, and a


plural pronoun must refer to a plural antecedent (e.g., “The dog wagged its tail” vs. “The
dogs wagged their tails”).

o Gender Agreement: A pronoun should match the gender of its antecedent (e.g., “The
girl lost her book” vs. “The boy lost his book”).

o Person Agreement: Pronouns must match the perspective (first, second, third) of their
antecedents (e.g., “I lost my pen” vs. “You lost your pen”).

2. Examples: Write and analyze example sentences on the board, highlighting correct and incorrect
agreements.

Guided Practice (10 minutes):

1. Class Activity: Use flashcards with sentences that have missing pronouns or incorrect pronoun-
antecedent pairs. Have students work in pairs to correct the sentences and discuss why the
corrections are necessary.

2. Worksheet Activity: Distribute worksheets where students fill in the blanks with appropriate
pronouns and correct sentences with pronoun-antecedent errors.
Independent Practice (10 minutes):

1. Sentence Creation: Ask students to write five sentences, each including a pronoun and its
antecedent. They should ensure correct agreement in number, gender, and person.

2. Peer Review: Have students exchange their sentences with a partner to check for correct
pronoun-antecedent agreement and provide feedback.

Conclusion (5 minutes):

1. Review: Recap the key points about pronoun-antecedent agreement and answer any questions.

2. Closing Activity: Conduct a quick quiz where students identify and correct errors in pronoun-
antecedent agreement in provided sentences. (page 46 with worksheets)

Assessment:

 Observe students during guided and independent practice for understanding of pronoun-
antecedent agreement.

 Review completed worksheets and sentences for accurate use of pronouns and their
antecedents.

Homework:
Assign students to write a short story (5-7 sentences) ensuring correct pronoun-antecedent agreement
throughout.
