Free 10th Grade Mass Media, Countable And Uncountable Nouns, Quantifiers Lesson Plan

Topic: Mass Media

Objectives & Outcomes

• Students will be able to understand countable and uncountable nouns and how to use quantifiers with them in sentences.
• Students will be able to identify and provide examples of mass media in their own lives.

Materials

• Whiteboard and markers
• Handouts with countable and uncountable nouns and quantifiersExamples of mass media (e.g. TV, newspapers, social media)

Warm-up

• Ask students to think of as many examples of mass media as they can in a few minutes.
• Write their examples on the whiteboard.
• Ask students to share their examples with a partner and discuss any they have in common.

Direct Instruction

• Introduce the concept of countable and uncountable nouns.
• Countable nouns are those that can be counted (e.g. one apple, two apples) and uncountable nouns are those that cannot be counted (e.g. water, air).
• Explain that quantifiers are words that indicate the amount of something (e.g. some, many, a lot of).
• Introduce some common quantifiers and give examples of how they are used (e.g. some + plural noun: some apples, some cats; a lot of + singular noun: a lot of apple, a lot of cat).
• Give some examples of countable and uncountable nouns from the list that the students came up with in the warm-up activity.

Guided Practice

• Divide the class into small groups and give each group a set of news articles.
• Ask the students to identify the countable and uncountable nouns in each article and quantify any quantifiers they find.
• Have the groups share their findings with the class and go over any questions or issues.

Independent Practice

• For the independent practice, give each student a sheet of news articles and ask them to identify the countable and uncountable nouns and quantify any quantifiers themselves.
• As the students work, walk around the classroom and assist as needed.

Closure

• Review the main points of the lesson: the difference between countable and uncountable nouns and how to quantify quantifiers with -'s and -s.
• Ask the students to share one thing they learned or found interesting about the topic.

Assessment

• Collect and grade the group presentations.
• Use the quiz from the independent practice as a formative assessment to check for understanding.
• Give a final grade based on the project presentation and the final quiz.
