In this engaging 5th-grade lesson, students will explore how to form unusual plurals using the inflections -s and -es. Through examples like 'cricket/crickets', 'mystery/mysteries', and a focus on syllable division, learners will enhance their understanding of pluralization rules. The lesson emphasizes syllable formation, explaining how -es creates its own syllable when following a consonant, and how certain final consonants change when -es is added. Students will engage in partner activities and independent practice by finding and charting examples from their Student Edition.
