English Language Arts Grammar Activities - "Build Strong Sentences with The Parts of Speech"
By - Connie Casserly
Grades 6-12
Grammar Activities - Build Strong Sentences with The
Parts of Speech
When you ask your students to check their papers for Pronoun/Antecedent
Agreement, Subject/Verb Agreement or for ending sentences with Prepositions, do
they look at you as if you were speaking Early Alien?
If so, they probably need to review those building blocks of strong
sentences, the Parts of Speech.Middle School and High School students need to
understand the parts of a sentence if they are to compose original strong
sentences.
Recently, I added three more
activities to this packet, each with an answer sheet. Now, students have even
more opportunities to review and reinforce their understanding of the Parts of
Speech and develop their ability to use them correctly when composing clear and
cogent sentences.
What is included in this packet? A
~Mad-Libs-based exercise
where students must fill in blanks with the required part of speech. They
~Label the Quotes activity
where students label each word in ten movie quotes. *Answer Key
~Students –Choose Your Label the
Quotes Sentences for students to
select quotes from sources of their choosing, and then switch papers with a
peer to label the words. *Answer Key
~Quotation Word Scramble where
students are given a scrambled list of words from a novel quotation. They must
rearrange the words into logical sentences-hopefully the original quote.
*Answer Key
Together, these activities which follow the Show Me, Help Me, Let Me
teaching concept, will enable students to strengthen Parts of Speech muscles so
they can build strong sentences.

Language Arts Lesson - "Words! Words! Words!"
Created by Dianne Mason
Grades 9-12
Help your students achieve a better vocabulary with the two lessons conveniently bundled in this package.
The activities in Build a Better Vocabulary will build higher-level vocabulary in your students. While designed for use in high school and college English classes, the activities can easily be adapted for middle school classrooms and for use in other disciplines. Effective vocabulary instruction involves building on the student’s prior knowledge, actively involving the student, and using repetition to reinforce learning. The activities in this lesson are designed to do all of those things. Most of the activities can be completed in about 15 minutes.
Included are a list of 375 SAT and GRE words, a brief history of the English language, and active links to helpful websites with other vocabulary activities.
Help your students understand the hidden power of connotations with the fun activities in Connotations: The Hidden Power of Words. Each one can be used as a separate mini-lesson, or they can be combined into a series of lessons. Completion of these exercises will enable students to identify connotation in literature and advertising as well as other media and to describe how connotation can be used in persuasion.
There are 7 activities in the package:
1. What’s in a Name?
2. Positive, Neutral, and Negative Synonyms
3. Name-Calling
4. Character Traits
5. Advertising Lingo
6. Writing Movie Reviews
7. Poetry: Using the Just-Right Word
Also included are 4 worksheets that can be used for further practice or as short quizzes. Each activity takes between 30 and 50 minutes to complete.
Thank you.
