Procedure (31-44 minutes)
I'll commence the lesson by drawing the attention of my students to the concept of ownership and the never ending desire for us to have many belongings or possessions.
i will then talk about nouns and their definition, having done so i will write some nouns on the board and ask my students to give sentences that indicate a relation of belonging or possession with the above mentioned nouns
i will then apply possessive pronouns to the same sentences that the students have given, and will replace the noun by a possessive pronoun so as to emphasize ownership and a sense of belonging.
I will then use possessive pronouns with questions containing" whose" and try to further clarify the purpose or functionality of possessive pronouns which is to emphasize ownership or possession or rather refer to the relation of belonging. i will also state some uncommon exceptions about possessive pronouns
