本次教学，从专有名词入手。让孩子意识到，如果某个人、或者某个动物，或者某件东西，被起了名字的话，那么，这个专门起的名字，就叫“专有名词（Proper Nouns）”。

妈妈可以对孩子说说下面的口诀：

这位老师的名字叫王刚。老师是“普通名词”，王刚是“专有名词”。

这只喵咪的名字叫阿白。猫咪是“普通名词”，阿白是“专有名词”。

这个国家的名字叫印度。国家是“普通名词”，印度是“专有名词”。

妈妈要提醒孩子，英文字母，有时候需要大写，有时候需要小写。一个句子里面，只要出现“专有名词”，那么第一个字母，永远是大写。

妈妈可以写出下面这句话：

The computer is made in China. （这部电脑是中国制造。）

妈妈用荧光笔，划出“普通名词 computer（电脑）”和“专有名词 China（中国）”，提醒孩子“China（中国）”的“第一个字母 C ”要大写。

开始练习喽！

一、让孩子拿一根荧光笔。

二、让孩子读读下面 5 句话，遇到“专有名词”，就划上荧光笔。

三、对对答案

四、下面的短文介绍《我的一家》，让孩子把短文里的“专有名词”划上荧光笔。
