Teacher: "Good morning, class! Let's start with a fun riddle: I'm a word that groups animals together, like a 'pride' of lions or a 'school' of fish. What am I? Think about it for a moment. [Pause] Yes, it's a collective noun! Today, we'll explore how to use collective nouns to talk about animals and our role in protecting them. Why do you think it's important to have special words for groups of animals? For example, have you heard of a 'murder' of crows? It adds color to our language and helps us describe the world more vividly. Now, let's brainstorm: What collective nouns do you already know? I'll write them on the board." | Students listen to the riddle, guess the answer (collective noun), and participate in brainstorming. They share known collective nouns (e.g., herd, flock, pack). | Observation of participation and initial vocabulary recall; no formal grading. | Whiteboard, markers |
