Description
This review of verbals and phrases will allow you to revisit the concepts of gerunds, participles, infinitives, and appositives in a hands-on format that will engage your high school students while allowing the grammar concept to sink in deeper.
HOW THIS LESSON WORKS:
- You will prep this lesson by cutting out the cards and placing them in envelopes for your students
- Hand out a set of cards to individual students or to pairs
- Each card has a mentor sentence printed on it (a sentence taken from a published work)
- Students will work individually or in pairs to match cards. Each mentor sentence with a participial phrase in it will be matched with a card that says "Participial phrase." The same thing for appositives, infinitives, and gerunds.
- Walk around and guide students as they work, or wait until the end and see who has separated all the cards correctly
- Give students the optional handout included in the lesson for further discussion and reflection on the sentences
HOW THIS LESSON ENGAGES YOUR STUDENTS:
- High school students rarely get to do hands-on work with grammar, but they LOVE it (trust me on this).
- Moving the cards around engages their hands which engages their minds
- By separating the sentences, they will naturally compare the sentences, thus bringing further understanding of the differences between the types of verbals and phrases
WHAT YOU GET:
- 8 pre-printed mentor sentence cards plus the terms that match for each sentence
- A customizable sheet so you can add your own mentor sentences from books your students are reading
- Handout for further reflection and discussion after the activity
- Detailed lesson plan with optional discussion questions
By engaging your students in each part of the lesson, the concept of verbals and phrases will stick.
