Mad Libs: My Trip...

This class offers students the opportunity to learn about different parts of speech and practice identifying words that fit these different parts of speech. The four main parts of speech we will discuss are nouns, adjectives, verbs, and adverbs. During each lesson, students will be prompted to provide examples of each part of speech, and we will then fill in a Mad Libs worksheet as a class. We will read it over and talk about if the story makes sense. We will also talk about how some of the sentences could be adjusted to make more sense. After class, students will have access to the Mad Libs that we created. Classes are as follows:

Class One: My Trip to the Zoo

We will begin the class by talking about our favorite zoo animals. We will then talk about parts of speech with a focus on nouns, adjectives, verbs, and adverbs. After that, we will do the Mad Libs worksheet as a class.

Class Two: My Trip to the Store

We will begin the class by talking about shopping, including what types of items the students like to buy and where they like to go shopping. We will review the parts of speech from the previous lesson. We will also talk about numbers and directions (up, down, left, right, and such). For this Mad Libs, we will be filling in some of the blanks with numbers and directions. Once we have reviewed these, we will then do the Mad Libs worksheet as a class.

Class Three: My Trip to the Farm

We will begin the class by talking about what the students know about a farm. We will talk about animals that live on a farm and crops that farmers may grow. We will again review the parts of speech from the first lesson. We will also talk about proper nouns and common nouns. For this Mad Libs, we will fill in some of the blanks with proper nouns. Once we have reviewed the parts of speech, including proper and common nouns, we will complete the Mad Libs worksheet as a class.
