Grammar Activities - Build Strong Sentences with The
Parts of Speech
When you ask your students to check their papers for Pronoun/Antecedent
Agreement, Subject/Verb Agreement or for ending sentences with Prepositions, do
they look at you as if you were speaking Early Alien?
If so, they probably need to review those building blocks of strong
sentences, the Parts of Speech.Middle School and High School students need to
understand the parts of a sentence if they are to compose original strong
sentences.
Recently, I added three more
activities to this packet, each with an answer sheet. Now, students have even
more opportunities to review and reinforce their understanding of the Parts of
Speech and develop their ability to use them correctly when composing clear and
cogent sentences.
What is included in this packet? A
~Mad-Libs-based exercise
where students must fill in blanks with the required part of speech. They
~Label the Quotes activity
where students label each word in ten movie quotes. *Answer Key
~Students –Choose Your Label the
Quotes Sentences for students to
select quotes from sources of their choosing, and then switch papers with a
peer to label the words. *Answer Key
~Quotation Word Scramble where
students are given a scrambled list of words from a novel quotation. They must
rearrange the words into logical sentences-hopefully the original quote.
*Answer Key
Together, these activities which follow the Show Me, Help Me, Let Me
teaching concept, will enable students to strengthen Parts of Speech muscles so
they can build strong sentences.
