Activity
Briefly review each part of speech on the page. Explain to students why each of the highlighted words is the specific part of speech that is identified. Then either have pre-planned sentences or ask students to give you sentences to write on the board. Next have the students go through the sentence with the instructor to identify what words are that particular part of speech you are working on at the time. Do two or three sentences until the students understand the concept. Then move on to the next part of speech. If the lesson seems difficult for the class, please feel free to finish the lesson during the next class period.
