In this 1st Grade Language Arts lesson, students will focus on understanding and applying the rules of capitalization, specifically at the beginning of sentences and for proper nouns. The lesson begins with a warm-up activity where students share their names and observe capitalization in writing. A read-aloud from a picture book reinforces the concept of capital letters.
Following this, a mini-lesson provides direct instruction on how to capitalize sentences and proper nouns, accompanied by examples on the whiteboard. Students will engage in a collaborative activity using sentence strips, where they will identify and correct capitalization errors.
For independent practice, they will work on a worksheet containing sentences that require capitalization corrections. The lesson concludes with students sharing their corrected sentences and receiving rewards for their efforts. Assessment will be conducted through observation during activities and by reviewing the worksheets for understanding. Extension activities are provided for advanced learners and additional support for those who may need it.
