Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students choose a pronoun based on its job in a sentence: who acts, who receives the action, or who owns something. They replace repeated nouns with forms such as she, her, and hers while keeping the meaning clear.
What Mastery Looks Like: Given a sentence, a student selects the correct form, as in “She called him” and “The backpack is hers.” In speaking and writing, the student matches each pronoun to the person or group named.
Common Misconceptions: Students often use object forms as subjects, as in “Me and Kai played,” or subject forms as objects, as in “Mom helped he.” They may write “mine coat” or “the coat is my.” They may also choose a pronoun that does not match a singular or plural noun.
How to Assess It: Use this exit ticket: “Maya handed her ball to Ben. ___ gave it to ___. The ball was ___.” Students write She, him, and hers, then label each as subject, object, or possessive.

Lesson moves

Give pairs noun cards and three sentence mats labeled actor, receiver, and owner, then have them place matching pronoun cards on each mat.
Write “Me and Kai played” on the board, then have students rewrite it and explain why I belongs in the subject spot.
Play Pronoun Relay by reading a noun phrase and sentence frame while teams race to hold up the correct subject, object, or possessive card.
Students revise a classroom note about borrowed supplies, replacing repeated names with clear pronouns such as she, him, our, and theirs.
