8 Lessons
over 8 Weeks
Lesson 1:
He Huffed and Puffed
 Students will learn about three types of verbs; action verbs, verbs of being, and helping verbs.  We will complete a "Mad Libs" version of a couple songs in which students choose action verbs to complete the passage.  A visual representation explaining the three types of verbs is provided, along with three poems by Shel Silverstein in which students will identify the verbs.

Lesson 2:
The Missing Link
 We will play a board game using given linking verbs to make sentences.  Seeing the words repeated and using them to create will implant them in memories.  After playing the game, we will complete a maze then identify the verbs in sentences and decide if the verb is an action verb or linking verb.

Lesson 3:
Grinchy Words
 Students will identify different types of adjectives.  We will play a game to practice describing with different kinds of adjectives.  Students will use adjectives to describe The Grinch.  They will learn about adjectives by relating them to the book by Dr. Seuss, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.

They will learn this through teacher explanation, a game which identifies them, and the Dr. Seuss book Green Eggs and Ham.  A worksheet finding prepositional phrases will be available.
