Quikercise -- Finding subjects and predicates.
1. American Fork Junior High is presenting the play Beauty and the Beast this week.
2. Ms. Hansen is the drama teacher.
3. Are you going to the play?
The subject is what the sentence is about, and what the predicate says, the subject does or is.
Adjective/Adverb Review
In pairs, write
10 adjectives.
10 nouns
10 verbs
10 adverbs
We need three class fact checkers.
The teacher will draw a number and draw one of the four parts of speech you have collected.
You will circle that number on your collection of that part of speech.
The teacher will draw from her own lists:
Draw a noun for adjectives
Draw a verb for adverbs
Draw an adjective for nouns
Draw an adverb for verbs
(Teacher has her own set on slips of paper in separate
envelopes for each of those parts of speech.) draws the number, then draws one of the slips for the
appropriate part of speech.
You give yourself
1 point if it really is that part of speech
+ 2 points if it really could fit with the word that has
been drawn.
