Topic:Summer holiday

Objectives & Outcomes:

• Students will understand and be able to use the different types of action verbs in sentences.

• Small props for visual examples (e.g. a stuffed toy, an action figure, a piece of fruit, etc.)
• Pen and paper for writing practice

Warm-up

• Ask students to think of two different types of action verbs. Write their answers on the board.
• Ask students to volunteer one of their answers and act out the action verb while the rest of the class guesses what it is.

Direct Instruction

• Review the list of action verbs with the class, using the flashcards or written list as a reference.
• Ask students to come up with additional examples of action verbs, and write them on the board.

Guided Practice

• Have students work in pairs or small groups to come up with more examples of action verbs, and share their examples with the class.

Independent Practice

• Have students choose one of the action verbs they identified in the previous activity and create a short presentation (e.g. a poster, PowerPoint, or Prezi) to demonstrate how they use the verb in their daily lives.

Closure

• Review the definitions of the six action verbs and ask students to share any new insights they gained about the words.

Assessment

• Circle the correct verb form in each sentence.
