Students will watch video in anticipatory set.. 2. Teacher will pass out inclass activity sheets and explain directions to students, then group students. Students will work in groups to make the nouns in the worksheets possessive. Students will be placed in groups by ability (high ability placed with lower ability). There will be 3 students in each group. 3. Students will each get a sheet of paper and crayons. They will each be assigned a letter, and will have to come up with a noun they can make possessive that begins with that letter and their own name for the owner of the object. The teacher will help students who cannot come up with a word, and the teacher will also help if students want help spelling. They will then draw/color a picture of their word and the words owner on the paper. -Closure: Teacher will have students gather on rug and ask if anyone would like to show the class their work (the picture with the possessive noun and the objects owner).

Assessment
Self-evaluation/ Reflection
Do students meet learning objectives? Did students enjoy activities? Did students behave during group activity? Were students confident enough in their work to show class their pictures/nouns? Did students complete homework correctly? Did students remember what nouns are from previous lessons/review? Did I group students to here they helped each other? Was using groups successful/helpful? Were the activities helpful in helping students learn lesson objectives? Did I explain the teacher input clearly? Did I answer all student questions?
Differentiation
During the group activity, the teacher will group students based on ability level. The teacher will place students who understand language arts with students who struggle with it so they may help each other.
