  • Tell the students that today, they're going to learn about capitalization.
  • Capital letters are mostly used as the first letter of proper nouns (the name of something or someone) and the first letter of sentences.
  • Ask students to think of any words they know that should be capitalized. Record their correct answers on the board to serve as a reference for the remainder of the lesson.
