B. Review (Bodily Kinesthetic / Musical)

1. Let me see how well you can identify the words in this sentence.

I hear the songbirds.

Where is the pronoun?

Where is the verb?
Where is the noun?

2. What if I change the sentence into this?

I hear the beautiful songbirds.

What do you call the word ‘beautiful’?

What is an adjective?

An adjective modifies a noun or a pronoun.

It answers the questions: ‘what kind?’ ‘which one?’ ‘how many?’ and ‘how much?’

3. Let us play around with the sentence once more. What if I change it this way?

The songbirds sing beautifully.

What do you call the word ‘beautifully’?

An adverb modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb.

It tells how, when, where, how many times and to what extent of an action is done.
