Review the concept of a noun. Be surethat students understand that a noun is aword that names a person, place, or thing.Remind students that there are two kindsof nouns: nouns that name any person,place, or thing; and nouns that name aspecific person, place, or thing. Ask:

■ Does the noun aunt name any person ora specific one? (any person)

■ Does the noun Philadelphia name anyplace or a specific one? (a specific one)

DEVELOP LESSON FOCUS

Have a volunteer read the model sentencein the Chalkboard Warm-Up to the class.Discuss the answers to the questions.Next, use the following discussion pointsto develop the lesson focus:

■ Point to the word train and ask: Doesthis noun name a general thing or a spe-cific one? (a general one)

■ Repeat this with the word Philadelphia.

Then ask: Why is the word Philadelphiacapitalized? (Nouns that name a specificperson, place, or thing are capitalized.)

■ Ask: How many nouns are in this sen-tence? (three)

SET LESSON FOCUS

Use these points to set the lesson focus:

■ Explain to the class that in this lessonthey will learn how to identify nouns.

■ Explain that a noun that names any per-son, place, or thing is a common noun.A noun that names a specific person,place, or thing is a proper noun.

may not be true. An artist named Francis Hopkinson

probably helped, too.
