Explain to your students that a noun is a person, place, animal, or thing. Tell your students that a verb is
an action. Remind them that a pronoun is a word that is used instead of a noun. Define an adjective as a

Write a sentence on the board. Invite your students to come to the board to label the different parts of
speech. Ask your students to put an N if it's a noun, V if it's a verb, A if it's an adjective, and P if it's a
pronoun.
Repeat with many different sentences. For example: Sam was reading a story book to his younger sister,
Sarah. Ella was playing with a beautiful, soft pony. We are going to play basketball after school. Sarah
and Tom will throw a party for Ben. They are going to play tag during PE class.
Ask your students to write 5 sentences that contain at least 3 parts of speech in each sentence.

Differentiation
Enrichment: Instruct your students to write a short story in their notebooks. Have them re-write the
story, making at least ten additions. Direct your students to make at least one change for each part of
speech. Ask your students to circle the changes they made and label the part of speech next to the
change. Tell your students that the changes they make should be related to parts of speech that they've
learned. Demonstrate an example on the board. For example: The horse was white could change to The
horse was white and soft.
Support: Show your students examples of nouns, verbs, adjectives, and pronouns around the class.
