INTRODUCTION
WANTED:
Nouns, Verbs, and Adjectives! What are they? How are they
used properly?
You've seen them in your
textbooks, homework assignments, tests, and newspapers. They are Nouns,
Verbs, and Adjectives. They are on the run again! We need
help! We are in need of a special kind of police force. You
have been recruited to become a Grammar Cop! We were told that sixth grade
students are equipped for this job! Can you handle it? If so, keep
reading!
TASK
Job Description: Your job is to search the city in hopes of capturing Nouns, Verbs, and Adjectives! They have been on the loose for some time now and they are everywhere! Once you have apprehended the culprits you will have two assignments to complete. Then you will be asked to write a paragraph about your adventure today. I know you amazing sixth graders can handle this job. Never fear; your chief of police is here to help!
PROCESS
Some of you may be unfamiliar with these culprits: Nouns,
Verbs, and Adjectives!
Before you can hit the streets you need to do a little research. All the
good cops do!
Step 2- Hunting Down the Nouns
You are now in your car and ready to roam the streets in search of the criminals!
Be very careful where you look. You may find the information you need to
catch them. Around the first corner you see a bunch of kids. They
are singing a song.
Step 3 - Seeking the Adjectives
You are on the search again! As you roam through the streets you see
a dark tunnel. There's some noise coming from inside. You
decide to investigate. The noise is music. As you creep closer
you can hear it.
Step 4 - Finding the Verbs
Finally, one more to capture, VERBS. I hear they are full of action! This is
probably why they are so hard to catch! Your day has been long, but you
can't stop now! You are driving across a bridge and look down. A boat
is floating below. Its
engine seems to be stalled. As you look closely you see that it's a VERB
calling for help! Wow! You found them and they have no way to get
away! You jump in the water and swim to the boat. You ask them if
they too will sing a song for you! They surrender and decide to sing for
you!
Step 5- Putting it all together
EVALUATION
Turn in your Grammar Cop worksheet to the chief at the end of the day.
CONCLUSION
WOW! What an excellent Grammar Cop you are! Perhaps when you are older we can hire you full time! Now that you have learned a lot about NOUNS, VERBS, and ADJECTIVES, tell all your friends to be on the lookout for them! And never be afraid to call on Grammar Cops! We'll be there in a flash!Good job Officers! You're dismissed!
