Parts of Speech Unit

The 8 parts of speech are the important building blocks for our sentences.  Every single word in our vocabulary falls into one of the following categories:  interjections, verbs, adjectives, nouns, conjunctions, adverbs, prepositions, or pronouns.  These are especially important to know as we learn to revise and improve our writing.

Every student is to do a project on one of the parts of speech.  For this project, students are to do some research on their assigned parts of speech and put together a lesson that includes a worksheet and an activity.  During the first two weeks of the Fall term, students will get a brief overview and explanation of each of the parts of speech.  For the next 8 weeks, presentations/lessons will be given by student(s). 

Requirements for the unit:

–   Fill out the Parts of Speech Planning Worksheet

–   Research the assigned part of speech

–   Put together a short lesson that explains the part of speech

–   Put together a worksheet for the class to practice using the part of speech

–   Have the worksheets ready the week before your presentation
