Understand pronoun negation. Simply put, a pronoun is a word that replaces the subject. For example; "he," "she," "him," "her," "you," "me," "they," "them," "our" and "it." To make a pronoun negative -- "not" or "no" is added to the sentence -- generally between the verb and the object. There are also two negative determiners, which may be used as pronouns in a sentence. These are "neither" and "none."
Write a lesson plan. Make a list of the day's vocabulary words and their definitions. Write a list of questions you want the students to be able to answer about the lesson. Think through how you will describe and demonstrate pronoun negation.
Write a worksheet, create a Powerpoint presentation, or both. Depending on what technology you have available, you should create an activity to help students practice pronoun negation. Worksheets may include fill-in-the-blank, multiple choice or matching questions. You may find worksheets available from other sources.
Present your lesson. For a lesson on pronoun negation, it's important to present pronouns and negatives separately, before putting the two together.
An example of a sentence with pronoun negation is "Neither student wanted to write sentences today." Another example of a negative sentence using pronouns is "That is not her jacket."
Provide students with plenty of examples, pointing out the pronouns and negative in each sentence.
Remind students to use only one negative in each sentence: Then teach them about the negative pronouns, "neither" and "none."
