Call me a common noun

Common nouns are words used to name things. The words cloud, movie and cat are all nouns because they are names of things.

Write two sentences that use common nouns you found. __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________

Let’s revise everything we know so far about common nouns. Then I want you to loop the common nouns in the words I jumbled.

The story of Comic Cat and the fire

Once upon a time there was a cat. This was no ordinary cat. He was a super-hero, Comic Cat! Comic Cat was flying over the town one sunny afternoon when he saw a fire in a house. He ran into the house to rescue everyone. He rescued a dog, a bird and the pet food. Then Comic Cat called the fire brigade. When they arrived he flew the water hose up above the house and helped them put out the fire by making it rain. The firewomen checked and made sure that the fire could not spread to any other houses. Once the fire was out everyone cheered, Comic Cat was a hero! He then flew to the fish and chips shop to get dinner.

Loop the correct answer.

The story happened: in the morning in the afternoon at night Comic Cat did not rescue a: bird mouse dog Comic Cat called the: police lifeguards fire brigade Comic Cat used the hose to make it: rain snow storm Why do you think Comic Cat rescued the pet food? _________________ __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ On a blank A4 piece of paper, draw Comic Cat helping the fire brigade put out the fire.

I have written a short narrative for you.

Comic Cat’s key information

Once upon a time there was a cat. This was no ordinary cat. He was a super-hero, Comic Cat! Comic Cat was flying over the town one sunny afternoon when he saw a fire in a house. He ran into the house to rescue everyone. He rescued a dog, a bird and the pet food. Then Comic Cat called the fire brigade.

What is the narrative about? ___________________________________ __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ Why do you think the firewomen checked and made sure the fire could not spread? __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________

Let’s have another look at my narrative from last lesson. Can you use key information in the text to work out:

• What happened • Why something happened

Proper noun is my name

Proper nouns are special naming words for people, places or things. Your name is a proper noun. My name, Comic Cat, is a proper noun. The name of the place, town or city you are in now is a proper noun. The first letter of a proper noun is always a capital letter. My name, _____________________, is a proper noun. I am in ________________________, it is a proper noun as well because it is the name of a place.

Highlight the proper nouns in the text.

Connor was hanging out with his friend Eliza. They decided to go to Bob’s Bakery for some lunch. Connor had heard that his friend, Tom, liked the pie at Bob’s Bakery, so he bought one to eat. Eliza just had to have a caramel scroll. After they ate, they left Bob’s Bakery and decided to head to Yalara, a town nearby, to see Darcy. Once they got to Yalara, Connor, Eliza and Darcy went and played netball with some other children. Next time you read a book, point out the proper nouns on each page to your home tutor.

Let’s revise everything we know so far about proper nouns. Then I want you to highlight all the proper nouns in the text below.



1

Where should we begin?

Read the narrative text.

Who are the main characters of the narrative? The main characters are __________________________________________________________ When is the narrative taking place? The narrative is taking place ______ __________________________________________________________ Where is the narrative set? The narrative is set ____________________ __________________________________________________________

Complete the sentence.

The orientation of a narrative has to introduce _________ the narrative is about, _________ the narrative is taking place and ____________ the narrative is set.

We are going to look at one of my favourite stories. It is a narrative.

What a fun story! Today we are going to look at the beginning of a narrative. This is also called the orientation. An orientation should tell the reader:

• Who the narrative is about • When the narrative is taking place • Where the narrative is set

Test your memory - blank

Find me a noun

_____________ was flying high through the _________ one day. He was flying above the _________. He saw some ___________ playing football in a __________ below him. He swooped down to join in the __________. Comic Cat was on the blue team with his friend _______. They were playing against the _________ team. It was a great game. Use the words below to fill in the blanks in Comic Cat’s writing.

game children clouds sky

Comic Cat red park Layla

We have revised what a common noun and a proper noun is. Today I want you to help me edit my writing by adding in the missing nouns throughout the text.

Same beginning, different ending

Pick a pair of ‘ice’ or ‘ace’ words and put them together in a silly sentence! __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________

How many different pairs of words can you find that begin with the same letter or letters, but end with ‘ice’ and ‘ace’? I’ve given you an example.

rice

race

Use these word beginnings: m, sp, l

What comes next?

Read the narrative text.

What is the problem for cheeky possum? _________________________ __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ What is the first event after the problem in the narrative? The cheeky possum tells the Wowee Wowee the pie needs sweet, green grass from under the she-oaks. What is the next event in the complication? _______________________ __________________________________________________________ What is the third event in the complication? _______________________ __________________________________________________________

For our lesson today we are going to use my favourite story again.

I do love that story. Today we are going to look at the problem in a narrative. This is also called the complication. A complication should tell the reader:

• What the problem is • Events in the story that happen because of the

problem

Cartoon capers of Comic Cat

Read and view the two texts.

Which text did you prefer? ______________________ Why did you prefer that text? __________________________________ __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ What is the same about the narrative text and the cartoon? __________ __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ What is different about the narrative text and the cartoon? ___________ __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________

Which text would you recommend to your friend to read and why? __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________

Today we are going to view and compare two different narrative texts. They tell the same story, just in different ways!

It is not proper to call me common

There is one proper noun and one common noun in each sentence.

Tom said the sky was blue. The ball was kicked by Darcy. Allison went to the lake. The storm raged over Perth. Jackson ran to catch the bus.

Sarah played a game with her friend Alexander.

I have written some sentences for you below. I want you to loop the common nouns and highlight the proper nouns.

Are you up for my Comic Cat challenge? The next sentence has TWO common nouns and TWO proper nouns. Can you find them all?

What do we do at the end?

The problem for cheeky possum is that _________________________ __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ The problem is solved when __________________________________ __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________

Draw a different way cheeky possum could solve the problem

Today we are going to look at the ending of a narrative. This is also called a resolution. A resolution should solve the problem in the story

A short boy and a tall girl walked into a haunted house. The tall girl went up the squeaky stairs. The short boy went into the dark kitchen. Up the squeaky stairs, the girl found some old clothes. There was a red jacket, an old shirt and some dancing shoes. In the kitchen, the boy found some rusty pots and brand new pans. Then they heard a scary noise. The short boy and the tall girl ran outside.

Today, we are going to use what we know about adjectives to add to and improve sentences.

Out of order

Comic Cat landed next to the young boy and asked if the boy was lost. The young boy said he was, and that his name was Tom. He had wandered away from his family who were camping nearby.

On his way to the sandy beach Comic Cat heard a cry for help. A young boy was lost in the huge forest below him. Comic Cat knew he had to help.

Comic Cat flew back up into the sky, waving goodbye to Tom and his family. He could not wait to get to the sandy beach. Although, he did want some fish and chips now as well.

One sunny morning, Comic Cat was flying high through the bright blue sky on his way to the sandy beach for a holiday. Even superheroes need a holiday!

He flew down through the tall trees looking for the young boy. Luckily, the young boy was smart and was staying near a big area of fresh green grass that made it easy to spot him.

Comic Cat walked with Tom back to the campground where his family were waiting for him. The family were very happy.

I have written a new adventure. I was very clumsy this time and wrote it out of order! Can you cut out the narrative and arrange it in the correct order please.

I predict that…

Once upon a time, Comic Cat was walking along the street. He would normally fly everywhere but Comic Cat had lost his cape! Without his cape, he could not fly anywhere. Comic Cat was searching everywhere for his cape. He knocked on doors and asked if anyone had seen it. A tall girl told him she had seen it when she was up in her treehouse. Comic Cat ran to the treehouse, he started to climb the ladder. When he reached the top he saw…

A great reading skill is being able to predict what is coming next. I have written the start of a narrative, I want you to predict what might happen next…

Re-write this sentence, fixing the plural ‘es’ mistakes.

On holidays we saw bushs, beachs and foxs in boxs. __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________

Can you spot the correct and incorrect plurals? Colour the correct ‘es’ plurals purple, and the incorrect ‘es’ plurals red. Remember, you add ‘es’ to most words ending with x, s, ss, sh or ch to make them plural.
