Introduction

Duration: 10 - 15 minutes

The aim of this section is to grab learners' attention and situate the topic of possessive pronouns in everyday contexts, highlighting their relevance. By linking lesson content to real-life situations, learners will be more engaged and keen to learn. Providing context prepares their minds for the new information to come.

Did you know?

We use possessive pronouns all the time, from casual chats to formal documents. For example, saying 'This is my friend' or 'That is her house' showcases possessive pronouns indicating ownership. In business, they play a vital role in emails and contracts to specify ownership rights or properties.

Contextualization

Kick off the lesson by introducing the concept of ownership and belonging. Explain to learners how possessive pronouns are used in Portuguese to show that something belongs to someone, using terms like 'meu', 'seu', 'nosso'. Then, transition to English, highlighting that similar to Portuguese, possessive pronouns indicate ownership but come in different forms: 'my', 'your', 'his', 'her', 'its', 'our', 'their'. Use visuals and objects from the classroom to illustrate: 'This is my book', 'That is your pen'.
