    Title ARTICLES

    Subject Language Arts


    Teacher Ms. Candice Khan
    Grade level Standard 2
    Time duration 15-20 minutes
    Objective  Recognize articles
     Explain why articles are used
     Apply them properly
    Materials Copy book and Pencil
    Prior Knowledge What is a noun.
    What is an adjective.
    Intro  Ask students to define a noun (a person,
    place, object, or idea), and then ask them to
    define adjectives (words that describe
    nouns).
     Give a few examples such as "big
    (adjective) dog (noun)" and "red (adjective)
    house (noun)."
     Ask students to consider the words a, an,
    and the. Ask them what part of speech these
    words belong to, and listen to their
    responses.
     Tell students that these three little words are
    a type of adjective, called articles or
    determiners, because they help us describe
    nouns. They tell us whether we are speaking
    of a specific noun or a noun in general.
    Direct Instruction Show students the following sentences:
     Give me the blanket.
     Give me a blanket.
    Put students in breakout rooms to discuss the
    difference between the two sentences.
    Invite students to share their thinking.
    Tell students that “the” is a definite article
    because it refers to a specific noun while “a” and
    “an” are indefinite articles because they refer to a
    more general sense of the noun.
    In the example, the first sentence asks for a
    specific blanket while the second sentence is
    requesting any blanket.
    Inform students that the indefinite article '"an" is
    used before words that start with a vowel sound
    (a, e, i, o, u).
    Point out that words spelled with a consonant but
    are pronounced with a vowel sound must use "an"
    (i.e., an hour late, or an honorable person).
    Tell students that nouns beginning in a vowel but
    pronounced with a consonant sound use the
    indefinite article "a" (i.e., a university or a unicorn
    which both start with a Y sound).
    Guided Practice Show students the following sentences:

    2
     As soon as they walked in the gate, Amanda
    and Avery made a beeline for the enclosure
    where Penelope lived.
     They ran toward the bamboo plants growing
    high above the fence around Penelope’s
    home.
    Read the first sentence and demonstrate how you
    identify the articles by circling them.
    For each article you circle, explain to students
    why the author chose a definite or indefinite
    article
    (i.e., in the first sentence, the author wrote "the
    gate" because he is referring to a specific gate,
    and he wrote "a beeline" because the characters
    made a random beeline instead of a specific
    beeline route).
    Randomly call on students to read the next
    sentences and circle the articles, while also
    providing an explanation as to why the particular
    article makes sense in the sentence.
    Independent Practice Give a list of sentences and have the students
    work in pairs to find the article/s in each sentence.
    Differentiation Allow students to work with a partner for the
    Independent Work Time
    Review Ask students to choose one of the sentences given
    and read the sentences aloud to the class with the

    3
    articles omitted.
    Students will see how awkward the sentences
    sound without them.
