Context
Hello, little adventurers in the world of the English language! Today, we are going to explore a great treasure of the language: subject pronouns. But what are they? When we talk, we use several words to refer to ourselves and other people. For example, when I'm talking to you, I say 'I', 'you', and 'he', right? These words are subject pronouns and are essential for communication in English.
Subject pronouns are words we use to replace proper names. This allows us to talk about ourselves and other people more easily and fluently. In addition, subject pronouns also have different forms according to the number and gender of the person they refer to. This means that each pronoun has a form for the first person singular (I), second person singular (you), and third person singular (he/she).
Now, you must be wondering: why is it important to learn about subject pronouns? Well, pronouns are like puzzle pieces: when we use them correctly, they help us build clearer and more understandable sentences. Moreover, by mastering the use of subject pronouns, you will become more confident and fluent in your English conversations. So, let's embark on this adventure together!
Introduction
Subject pronouns are a fundamental part of English grammar and are used in all types of conversations and texts. They help us talk about ourselves and other people in a simpler and more effective way. Learning to use them correctly is essential for communication in English.
Understanding the difference between 'I', 'you', and 'he/she/it' is just the beginning. Subject pronouns have different forms for the plural (we, you, they) and special forms when used as objects (me, you, him/her/it). Mastering these forms is like unraveling the secrets of a language.
This project will help you explore subject pronouns in a practical and fun way. You will create a comic book story that will show how subject pronouns are used in different situations. Additionally, you will also practice skills such as teamwork, time management, creativity, and problem-solving. So, are you ready to embark on this great adventure? Let's go!
Practical Activity
Activity Title: 'Adventures with Subject Pronouns'
Project Objective:
- Understand and apply the correct use of subject pronouns (I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they) in contextual situations.
- Practice communication, collaboration, time management, and creative thinking skills.
Detailed Project Description:
Students will be divided into groups of 3-5 participants. Each group will be responsible for creating a comic book story involving fictional characters using subject pronouns. The story should contain a series of dialogues where subject pronouns must be used correctly.
Students must create the story script, draw the comic book panels, write the dialogues, and finally, present the comic book to the class. This project will help students understand the use of subject pronouns in a fun and practical way.
Required Materials:
- Bond paper or notebook for notes
- Pencils, colored pens, eraser, and ruler
- Old magazines for cutouts (optional)
- Glue (optional)
Step-by-Step Activity Execution:
-
Group Formation: Divide the class into groups of 3-5 students, ensuring that each group has a mix of skills and personalities.

Story Planning: Groups should work together to plan the comic book story. They should decide on the characters, setting, and plot of the story. It is important that the story has situations where subject pronouns can be used.
-
Comic Book Creation: With the plan ready, students should start drawing the comic book panels and writing the dialogues. They can use old magazines to cut and paste images if they wish.
