We are working on parts of speech and reviewing nouns with an emphasis on proper nouns and capitalization. Students are categorizing nouns, pronouns, proper nouns, and adjectives through a variety of word work activities.
Whole group introduction:
I cut pictures out of magazines to drive our choice of words. Students identified the part of speech and offered adjectives to describe the noun.
Then, students gave the same exercise a try working in small groups. They chose the pictures from the magazines and they categorized the words.
