Parts of Speech Mini Project
Today in class, we began a (mini) parts of speech project. Students should have picked their group (3-4 members) and randomly chosen a part of speech. Students had most of class today and will have part of class on Monday (10-15 minutes) to complete the requirements. Students will present their projects in a skit format to the class on Monday.
Directions:
1. Using the large paper provided to you, write your chosen part of speech in large letters on the poster.
2. The poster should also include 7-10 examples of that particular part of speech.
3. The definition of the part of speech you selected should be clearly stated on the poster (use the definition from your notes).
4. The poster should clearly demonstrate your group's understanding of the part of speech.
5. You will present the poster and your part of speech in a skit format to the class.
6. The skit should verbally incorporate the part of speech, definition, and examples. It should be planned and interesting to view. DO NOT just read your poster to the class. Attempt to act it out or give demonstrations to help your classmates learn and remember the part of speech you are presenting.
Reminder: There will be a quiz on the parts of speech on Tuesday, August 25th. Be sure to study your notes!!
