Introduction (10 - 12 minutes)

1. The teacher begins the lesson by reminding students of the importance of clear and concise communication. The teacher can ask the students for examples of situations where it is crucial to express themselves clearly, such as giving directions, explaining a process, or sharing ideas in a group discussion. (2 minutes)

2. The teacher then presents two problem situations to the students:

   • Problem 1: "Imagine you are telling a story about a friend, and every time you mention your friend's name, you have to repeat the entire name. How would that make the story sound?"
   • Problem 2: "You are writing a letter to a family member, and you need to mention your pet's name several times. How can you make your letter more interesting and less repetitive?" (3 minutes)

3. The teacher contextualizes the importance of pronouns by explaining their real-world use. The teacher can explain that pronouns are like shortcuts in language, making it easier and quicker to refer to people, places, things, and ideas. For example, instead of saying "Mary went to the store, and Mary bought some milk," we can say "Mary went to the store and bought some milk." The teacher can also mention that the use of pronouns is not only important in spoken and written communication but also in various other forms of expression, including literature, songs, and even in coding and programming. (3 minutes)

4. The teacher then grabs the students' attention by sharing two interesting facts about pronouns:

   • Fact 1: "Did you know that there is a language in Indonesia called 'Tukang Besi' that has only one pronoun for all persons and numbers? So, they don't need to worry about using 'he,' 'she,' 'it,' 'they,' etc."
   • Fact 2: "In English, the word 'I' is the most frequently used pronoun. On average, we use 'I' once every 11 words. That's a lot of 'I's!" (2 minutes)

5. The teacher concludes the introduction by telling the students that by the end of the lesson, they will be able to use pronouns to make their communication more efficient and to avoid repetitive language. The teacher also encourages the students to actively participate in the lesson by asking questions and sharing their thoughts. (2 minutes)

Development (20 - 25 minutes)

1. Definition and Types of Pronouns (5 - 7 minutes)

   • The teacher introduces the concept of pronouns as words that can replace nouns, making sentences less repetitive and more concise. (1 minute)
   • The teacher explains that there are several types of pronouns, each with its own function. The main types are: personal, possessive, reflexive, and demonstrative pronouns.

2. Personal Pronouns (5 - 7 minutes)

   • The teacher focuses on personal pronouns, explaining that they are used to refer to specific people or things.

   • The teacher then introduces the concept of subject and object personal pronouns. The teacher explains that subject pronouns are used when the pronoun is the subject of a sentence (e.g., I, you, he, she, it, we, they), while object pronouns are used when the pronoun is the object of a verb or preposition (e.g., me, you, him, her, it, us, them). (2 minutes)
   • The teacher provides examples and encourages the students to practice using personal pronouns in both subject and object forms. (2 minutes)

3. Possessive and Reflexive Pronouns (4 - 6 minutes)

   • The teacher moves on to possessive and reflexive pronouns, explaining their uses and giving examples.
   • The teacher explains that possessive pronouns show ownership or possession (e.g., mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs). The teacher can use real-life examples to make the concept more relatable. For instance, "This book is mine" or "The toy is hers." (2 minutes)
   • The teacher then introduces reflexive pronouns, explaining that they are used when the subject and object of a sentence are the same (e.g., myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves). The teacher can use a few example sentences to illustrate this point. (2 minutes)
   • The teacher encourages students to practice using possessive and reflexive pronouns in their own sentences. (2 minutes)

4. Demonstrative Pronouns (3 - 5 minutes)

   • The teacher concludes the types of pronouns by explaining demonstrative pronouns.

   • The teacher also explains the difference between demonstrative pronouns and demonstrative adjectives, emphasizing that a pronoun replaces a noun, while an adjective describes a noun. (1 minute)
   • The teacher reinforces the learning of pronouns by revisiting the problem situations from the introduction and demonstrating how the use of pronouns can solve these problems. (1 - 2 minutes)

In all stages of the development, the teacher should encourage active student participation through questions, discussions, and practice exercises. This will help ensure that students are understanding and internalizing the lesson content.

Feedback (5 - 7 minutes)

   • "What was the most important concept you learned today?"
   • "Can you think of a situation where the use of pronouns can make your communication more efficient?"

4. The teacher concludes the feedback stage by addressing any remaining questions or clarifying any concepts that students might be struggling with. The teacher also provides positive reinforcement for students' active participation and correct responses during the lesson. (1 minute)

5. As a homework assignment, the teacher can ask students to write a short paragraph using as many different types of pronouns as they can. This will provide an opportunity for students to apply what they have learned and for the teacher to assess their understanding in the next class. The teacher should remind students that they can always refer back to the lesson material or ask questions in the next class if they need help with their homework. (1 minute)
