Created by Melissa O’Bryan
How to use:This product was created to provide further
instruction and assessment of the critical verbs
of the Common Core standards. I personally
scoured the standards and pulled out the
verbs that I knew were tricky for my students.
Those 52 verbs are found in this product. I’ve
divided the verbs into twelve small groups. I
teach one group of words per week for 12
weeks. I like to copy the graphic organizers for
the week into a packet and introduce, analyze
and discuss a new word each day. I hang the
corresponding word wall card found HERE on
the day it is taught. Students take the packets
home to study and I administer the weekly
quizzes on Fridays. Once all verbs are taught,
we continue to review them for the entire year
to ensure mastery. I use the critical verb
vocabulary games found HERE to accomplish
this feat.
