“Pop” Personal Pronouns
Hey students and parents!
In English today we began discussing personal pronouns. When I told the students what the focus of today’s lesson was, they all had a kind of “ugh” look on their faces. However, we discovered that recognizing personal pronouns in daily activities proved to be fun and entertaining.
With one of The Beatles album as my aide, we played the song Love Me Do in class. As we listened to the lyrics, the students made a tally mark each time they heard a personal pronoun. Many students expressed to me that they had the same album at home. Now this could get fun! Students, explain to your parents what a personal pronoun is. Then challenge them to find the number of personal pronouns used in Love Me Do, just as we did in class.
Tonight I want you to play your favorite “pop” song and count how many personal pronouns are in the lyrics. Let me know the numbers you get and with what song.
**Study for your Spelling/Vocabulary test as you listen**
Question: How many personal pronouns were used in this post? The first person with the correct answer will receive a homework pass.
