Materials Needed:
One projector with screen

Lesson Plan:
Ask the class if they know the definition of a
noun, verb, and adjective.
Present the definition of a noun, verb, and
adjective on the projector.
Provide three examples of sentences with nouns,
verbs, and adjectives, and go over them with the
class as a whole on the projector. Highlight the
adjective in yellow, verb in green, and noun in
red.
Watch a video on the computer projected onto the
projector about nouns, verbs, and adjectives.
Throughout the video there will be points where the
video will pause and provide sentences for the
students to read aloud together, and they will have
to identify the nouns, verbs, and adjectives.
Place sample words of nouns, verbs and adjectives
in random order on the projector and have the
students hold up the appropriate marker to match
the correct part of speech.
Pass out a handout to each student with 10
sentences. Have them complete this handout with
the other students at their table.
Students will then individually break off and write
their own sentence incorporating a noun, verb and
adjective.
Each student will come up to the computer and type
his or her sentence so it is projected onto the
projector. The class will then go over each
sentence as a group.
Definitions:
Noun: A person, place, or thing
