I or Me? Subject and Object Pronouns

About This Resource

A complete Grade 4 ESL lesson pack on subject and object pronouns: I, you, he, she, it, we, they and me, you, him, her, it, us, them; replacing nouns with pronouns, choosing the right pronoun before and after the verb, pronouns after prepositions (with me, for them), the polite order my friend and I, and avoiding repetition in writing. Includes slides, a timed lesson plan, flashcards, worksheet, quiz, homework, rubric and answer key.

Overview

Students learn that pronouns replace nouns so we don't repeat the same words. They sort pronouns into subject pronouns, which do the action before the verb (She plays), and object pronouns, which receive the action after the verb or a preposition (I see her; Come with us). They replace nouns in brackets with the right pronoun, choose between pairs like I and me or he and him, learn to say my friend and I and my friend and me correctly, edit a repetitive story and write their own sentences.

Learning Objectives

Identify subject pronouns and object pronouns.
Choose the correct pronoun depending on its place in the sentence.
Use pronouns to avoid repetition in writing, including with my friend and I / me.

How to Use This Resource

Start with slide 1: read a short paragraph with no pronouns (Tom likes cake. Tom eats cake every day. Tom's mom makes cake for Tom.) and ask what sounds strange.
Teach subject and object pronouns with the slides, checking each step with the matching worksheet activity.
Students complete the worksheet, then use the quiz to check and the homework story edit. Answers are in the answer key.

Classroom Activity Ideas

Pronoun point: the teacher says a sentence with a name; students point to the right person and say it again with a pronoun.
Before or after?: write a verb in the middle of the board; students place pronoun cards before (subject) or after (object) it.
Repetition rescue: groups rewrite a silly paragraph that repeats names over and over.

Differentiation

Support: give a two-column chart of subject and object pronouns and practise with one pronoun pair at a time. Challenge: add possessive adjectives (my, your, his, her) and write a paragraph using all three types correctly.

Assessment

Worksheet activities and the quiz check choosing and replacing pronouns (answer key included). The edited story and writing tasks are checked with the rubric.

Teacher Tips

Give students the cover-up test for pairs: in "My friend and I/me went", cover "my friend and" and say the sentence. "I went" sounds right, so it is my friend and I. In "She gave it to my friend and me", "She gave it to me" sounds right.
