Domains: Language, Academics
A noun can be a person, place, or thing. Why is differentiating between these important? Because knowing if a noun is a person, place, or thing helps students answer who, where, and what questions.
This project borrows lyrics and pictures used in previous projects. “Who is a person.” People were addressed in Who Do You Know? “Where is a place.” Places were addressed in Where Do You Go? “What is a thing.” Things were addressed in What Do You Use? Each of these previous projects focused on just one type of noun: people, places, or things. This project teaches students to classify these three types of nouns, the end goal being an improved ability to answer a variety of “wh” questions.
Each video begins by showing the generic answer visuals for person, place, and thing, and then the specific person, place, and thing which will be addressed in the current video. The second section pairs each type of noun with a “wh” question word: who = person, where = place, what = thing. In the third section, each noun is verbally and visually sorted into its correct category: person, place, or thing. (In the fill-in-the-blank videos, this is when the student will respond either verbally or by pointing.) Each video ends by reviewing the generic answer visuals as well as the specific person, place, and thing in that video.
Of course, if each time I showed and sang the nouns I always did it in the same order (first person, then place, then thing) it would be way too easy. So, the order of the nouns are mixed up. Below are all of the nouns – listed in the sequence they appear in each video.
- school / teacher / backpack
- tractor / farmer / farm
- mail carrier / mailbox / post office
- grocery store / money / cashier
- book / library / librarian
- chef / restaurant / oven
- hospital / doctor / stethoscope
- airplane / pilot / airport
- firefighter / fire hydrant / fire station
- pool / towel / lifeguard
- comb / barber shop / barber
- referee / stadium / football
Each video and song have a regular version which provide the correct answers and a fill-in-the-blank version for your student to answer. There is an additional fill-in-the-blank video and song in which no nouns are sung or displayed. You can use this to mix up the noun order, mix nouns from different video/song versions, or introduce new nouns of your choosing. Printable flashcards for each noun as well as an answer template are also provided to use along with the songs or videos.
