Nouns and Newspapers
Submitted by Michelle Creech, Livingston Intermediate
After reviewing the difference between common and proper nouns, students went on a "Newspaper Scavenger Hunt" for particular items: a proper noun you can drive, a common noun that is a place, a proper noun that you can eat, . . . Then, using the items they found in the paper, they wrote a composition with them. One student said, "This is WAY better than doing a worksheet. I can look at the sports page and learn at the same time!"
