Worm up activity
Start the lesson by telling the class that all of them will play a short game of guessing an object or a
person. Explain to the students that one student will have to guess the object or the person.
Choose one volunteer student and send him/her out of the classroom. Tell him/her to go and sit in the
next classroom until you call him/her back.
Choose an object or person to be guessed along the rest of the students. Call back the student who was
sent out.
The whole class tells the student the gender of the person or object to be guessed (masculine, feminine,
neuter, common). The class also tells the student whether the object or person to be guessed is singular or
plural.
The class gives hints to the student, using appropriate pronouns, until the student guess the answer. For
example, if the person to be guessed is ‘a male hairdresser’, the class may say things like: He uses scissors.
He needs training. He makes different styles.
Provide students with the related vocabulary while they are giving hints.
After the student has guessed the object or the person, ask the whole class to clap for him/her.
Write the pronouns used by students on the board and ask them what are these words called? Also ask
the students why these words are used. Write the pronouns learnt earlier on the board.
Tell the class that today they will learn about another type of pronoun called Reflexive Pronoun. Write
the topic ‘Reflexive Pronouns’ on the board.
Write all the eight reflexive pronouns on the board.
Ask the students to find as many reflexive pronouns in their textbooks as they can in two minutes. Give
hint by telling them some page numbers where they could find these pronouns.
Explain to the students that a reflexive pronoun is usually used when the object of a sentence is the same
as the subject. The reflexive pronoun can also be used to give more emphasis to the subject or object.
Help students understand through the examples they found in their textbooks.
