Prepositions

Today we worked on a preposition memory cue today in class. The purpose is for students to be able to quickly recognize frequently used prepositions in sentences. The students had three options for their memory cue. They were advised to make their choose which option they wanted to complete according to their learning style assessment from the beginning of the year.

Visual Learners: Preposition Picture

Draw a picture that is based around one main object. Draw other items around the main object with prepositions that show their position in relation to the main object. Remember my "Fishy Prepositions" example using a shark as my main object and sea animals positioned around him. You must include at least 25 prepositions.

Auditory Learners: Preposition Song

Write a song using at least 25 prepositions. You can use any tune you choose. Be sure to include prepositions and prepositional phrases in your written lyrics. We listened to a couple of preposition songs in class for inspiration.

Tactile Learners: Preposition Motions

Use one object to demonstrate at least 25 prepositions you can physically do with that object. For example: You could be with the pencil, below the pencil, above the pencil, beside the pencil, etc. You need to write the preposition motions down and be able to act it out in front of the class. 

Tomorrow, we will take notes on a preposition note taker and complete some practice. If you lose your note taker, you can print it out from here.
