Activity 2 includes sentences with blanks that students are instructed to complete using one of the words: "with," "without," "someone's help," or "by myself." The student activity page for Working Together explicitly lists "by myself," which is a reflexive pronoun form that students will select and write in the provided sentences.

Activity 1 explicitly instructs the child to "compare himself to the animal using a Venn diagram," which uses the reflexive pronoun "himself." The activities also ask students to write sentences (Option 2 and other pages) about how plants, animals, and humans are the same and different, providing places where pronouns might appear in student writing.

Students are directed to "record his own name above the right circle and draw a picture of himself inside that circle" in the Similarities and Differences activity. The instructions also ask students to "write two differences between himself and the child from Africa," which repeats the reflexive form 'himself' in student-facing tasks. These instances show students encountering and being prompted to refer to themselves using a reflexive pronoun.

The lesson text includes reflexive pronouns in example language such as "remind us of people we know or even ourselves." It also uses "himself/herself" in a speaking prompt: "What would the character say if he/she had to tell someone the most important thing about himself/herself?" Students are asked to pretend to be characters and respond to scenarios, providing opportunities to use pronouns in speech or writing.

Students read the story The Ugly Duckling, which contains reflexive pronouns in context (e.g., "When the duckling saw himself mirrored in the water" and "I hardly recognize myself!"). Students also complete reading and retelling activities (summarizing problem, events, solution) that expose them to these pronouns in authentic text.

Students are instructed to list the names of family members "including himself" when completing the Shared Traits chart (Activity 4), which contains the reflexive pronoun "himself." The directions and narration repeatedly address the student in second/third person but include that single reflexive form in an explicit student action (listing family members).

Students are given a clear definition of reflexive pronouns and the rule that singular forms end in "-self" and plural forms end in "-selves." Students study a mapped list pairing subject pronouns (I, you, he, she, it, we, they) with their reflexive forms (myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, themselves). Students complete multiple fill-in-the-blank sentences using reflexive pronouns and review answers, and they practice orally by saying the reflexive pronoun when prompted with a subject pronoun.

Students read and decode the compound word "himself" in Activity 2.2 and are asked to name the two words that form it (him / self). The Answer Key and Wrapping Up list and ask students to produce compound words that end with "self" (examples: himself, herself, yourself, myself). The Finding Words in the Text activity also identifies "himself" as one of the compound words found in the book.
