Nouns, Verbs, Adjectives, Adverbs, Oh my!

Number Of Students: 30

Time Frame: One-day lesson

Tools:

One Computer

One Projector

PowerPoint Microsoft

Paper and pencil

One children story book that is short (picture books with

few sentences on each page works great and its a fun

read!)

4 colors of chalk/ or 4 colors of dry erase markers

The Main Objectives:

Goals:

For students to learn about nouns, verbs, adjectives, and

adverbs

Students will be able to identify nouns, verbs, adjectivesand adverbs in a sentence

Students will be assigned a sentence in a book to

correctly identify the noun, verb, adjective and adverb

within the sentence.

What The Teacher Needs To Know:

The basic fundamentals of nouns, verb, adjectives, and

adverbs

How to use PowerPoint Microsoft and how to make slidesfor a Power Point

Why Is This Important? (ISTE Standards):

1. Facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity:

Promote student reflection using collaborative tools to

reveal and clarify students conceptual understanding


2/4

and thinking, planning, and creative processes: This lesson

is meant to create a lesson that collaborates technology

integration with hands on learning. Students will be able to

reflect their learning in multiple ways to show their

understanding of the lesson. They will be able to workindividually and in groups to help teach each other and

teach themselves. They will then present to the class to

show an even better understanding of the lesson.

Lesson Plan:

Before You Start The Lesson:

The teacher must prepare a power point using PowerPoint

Microsoft. Each slide should contain definitions and information

about nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs. The slides should

also include examples and pictures that accompany the

examples to help illustrate the lesson and help students

understand the definitions (Example: For a noun you can

include with the definition A person, place or thing with

pictures of a person, place and thing). Have a short practice

quiz at the end of the power point to see if students understandthe concepts/terms and how they work in sentences. The

practice quiz should include words that are incorrectly labeled

in the sentence to see if students can identify the mistakes (For

example: label a word in a sentence that is supposed to be a

noun as a verb to see if they identify that word as being

labeled incorrect). The teacher must also prepare a book that

they will read to the class out loud. Use the book to pick out 10

sentences in the book that students will be able to identify the

four parts of speech (noun, verb, adjective, adverb). Write thesentences on the board big enough for students to read and

underline clearly.

Lesson:


3/4

Start with going through the power point to teach the

students about the basics of these elements of speech. When

you have the students take the practice quiz at the end have

students come up to the computer to help point and highlight

the elements in the sentence.

After the power point is finished have the students gather

around on the floor to read them the storybook. Have the

students keep in mind the parts of speech they just learned

about.

After reading the book break the students up into groups

of 3 (10 groups total). Assign one sentence on the board to

each group and have them write it down on a piece of paper.Give them 5 minutes to work with their group to identify the four

parts of speech in the sentence.

Then have the students come up to the front of the class

one group at a time to underline the four elements in the

sentence using the 4 different colors of chalk/marker. Then

have the group read the sentence and explain why they

underlined each word as the identified part of speech. Have

the group sit down and go over the sentence with the class.Use the power point slides to go back to each definition and

compare the underlined word to the definition to check if the

group correctly identified each part of speech in their

sentence. Have the whole class say yes or no when asked if

the underlined word is a noun, verb, adjective, or adverb. If the

group got a word wrong, go back to the beginning power

point slides to see if they can understand why they identified

the word incorrectly and see if they can correctly change their

mistake

Repeat this with all the groups to make sure all the

students are involved and participating. Once all the groups

have gone have a class discussion about what they learned.

Have the students raise their hand and say what they learned


4/4

from the lesson. Ask the students again what the definitions of

the parts of speech mean to see if they can remember what

they learned.

*This is optional if you feel that the students didnt fullycomprehend the lesson. Teachers can make a small take

home worksheet for the students to take home and practice

what they learned from the lesson. The teacher can create 5

sentences and have the students identify the four parts of

speech in each sentence. They can underline, draw a line

above the word, circle, or square the word that accompanies

the part of speech in that sentence.
