RMSE-LA 3 pronoun usage

The activities of pronouns happen in two ways: writing usage and grammar. Students have a problem with using pronouns in sentences that are not clear.

They use the pronoun before the subject is introduced. Early lessons address this problem with rules and practice. In lesson eight the rule for pronouns in a passage is: If two sentences in a row name the same thing, you change the second sentence so that it names he, she or it.

The process is:

  • The teacher says: ‘I’ll read the instructions: Cross out some of the names and write he, she or it. Here’s the rule for using the words he, she or it in paragraphs: If the next sentence names the same person or thing, change that sentence.’
  • The teacher says, ‘Touch sentence A’ and scans students. ‘Sentence A names Mario. What’s the letter for the next sentence?’ and signals (auditory). ‘Does sentence B name the same person sentence A names?’ and signals (auditory). ‘Yes, they both name Mario. So you’re going to change sentence B. What word are you going to use instead of Mario?’ and signals (auditory).
  • The teacher says, ‘Fix up sentence B. Cross out Mario and write ”He”. Be sure to write a capital H’ and observes students and gives feedback.
  • The teacher continues with the rest of the sentences.

Turn to page 36 in RMSE-LA 3 Teacher’s Guide. Practise lesson 8 twice with your partner, once with no student errors and once with student errors. Read and review teaching notes and lessons on pages 34-39.
