Beauport seventh graders,
Great job learning and practicing this well-versed Parts of Speech rap! Pretty catchy huh? The more you listen to it and practice it, the better you will do on your "Parts of Speech" quiz Friday! Don't forget to utilize your 2-column notes!
Every name is called a NOUN
as FIELD or FOUNTAIN, STREET or TOWN
In place of nouns the PRONOUN stands
As HE or SHE can clap their hands
An ADJECTIVE describes a thing
As a MAGIC wand or BRIDAL ring
A VERB means actions, something done
To READ, to WRITE, to JUMP, to RUN
How things are done the ADVERBS tell
As QUICKY, SLOWLY,
BADLY, WELL
The PREPOSITION shows relation
As IN the street or AT the station
CONJUNCTIONS join in many ways
Sentence, words, OR phrase AND phrase
The INTERJECTION cries out “HARK!”
I need an exclamation mark
Eight PARTS OF SPEECH I think I’ve got it
Now all that’s left is POP, LOCK AND DROP IT!
Keep in mind why we are studying this:
Your knowledge of the basic parts of speech and ability to use the parts of speech effectively, will enhance your writing and reading, which will allow you to reach a higher level of comprehension!
(What's comprehension you ask? The act or fact of grasping the meaning, nature, or importance of something; it is understanding.)
How should I study for the quiz tomorrow ?
ReplyDeleteWhat is the best way?
Emily, study the workbook pages, the vocabulary homework sheet, and your literature terms (conflict, rising action, falling action, theme... etc). I have attached the two stories (under ELA documents) if you would like to review or re-examine them in order to help you understand them better. If you focused in class as we read and discussed the stories then you should do well!
