Wonder Lesson 6: Christopher's House - Word warm-up: Pronouns

In an engaging English teaching resource designed to improve students' understanding and use of pronouns, a word warm-up worksheet is presented. This exercise aims to enhance the readability and flow of a paragraph by replacing repetitive noun usage with appropriate pronouns. The initial text provided describes Lucy and her friend Emily's actions using their names repeatedly, making the paragraph sound cumbersome and repetitive. Students are encouraged to rewrite the paragraph, substituting names with pronouns such as 'her', 'she', 'they', and 'their' to make the text more concise and natural.

After revising the paragraph with pronouns, the lesson continues with a reading and discussion activity. Students are instructed to re-read pages 8-9 of a particular text, presumably from the book 'Wonder', to identify and list all the pronouns used by the author. This exercise not only reinforces their understanding of pronouns but also provides a practical application by examining their use in literature. The aim is to help students recognise the importance of pronouns in writing and how they contribute to the coherence and readability of a passage.
