Explanation:

- Proper Nouns: These are specific names of people, places, or things. They always begin with a capital letter.
- Capitalization: It's important to capitalize the first letter of all parts of a proper noun, even if it contains multiple words (e.g., "Franklin High School").
- Examples Provided: The worksheet gives examples like "Mr. Lee," "Carolyn," "Fremont Elementary," etc., to help identify proper nouns.
- Creative Input: In Part 2, students are asked to think of their own proper nouns for common nouns, which encourages creativity while maintaining the rule of capitalization.
