Summary

Plural nouns in English are deliciously fascinating. Yet most plural lessons are so dull! In this experience, students are given a pile of plurals and then inductively create groups and pull out rules and patterns.

  1. Students write their words on post-its, then begin to form groups based on the rules those words follow to become plurals.
  2. Students write their final groups out on a piece of paper, label each group, and explain the rule each group follows.
  3. Each student notes something new they thought about while doing this task.
