Introduction (5 minutes)

1. Engagement: Begin with a brief discussion about pronouns. Ask students if they can name different types of pronouns and their usage in sentences.
2. Definition: Define what a pronoun is and introduce the concept of an antecedent. Explain that the antecedent is the word that the pronoun refers to.

Direct Instruction (10 minutes)

1. Rules of Agreement:

   • A pronoun must agree with its antecedent in number (singular or plural).
   • A pronoun must agree with its antecedent in gender (masculine, feminine, or neutral).
   • Singular antecedents take singular pronouns, and plural antecedents take plural pronouns.

2. Examples: Write examples on the whiteboard to illustrate the rules:

   • "The dog wagged its tail." (singular, neutral)
   • "The children played with their toys." (plural)

Guided Practice (10 minutes)

1. Interactive Exercise: Distribute a worksheet with sentences that need correction. Example sentences can include:

   • "Each student must bring their pencil."
   • "Neither of the boys brought his book."

2. Discussion: Have students work in pairs to identify and correct the pronouns in the sentences. Walk around to assist and observe their progress.

Independent Practice (5 minutes)

1. Writing Task: Instruct students to write five original sentences using pronouns that agree with their antecedents.
   • Example prompt: "Write about your favorite character from a book and use at least three pronouns correctly."

Conclusion (5 minutes)

1. Review: Quickly recap the rules of pronoun-antecedent agreement and ask a few students to share their sentences.
