Teaching and response guide

  1. Model the target skill: identify verbs as words that describe physical or mental actions. Use the first task as a guided example before asking for an independent response.
  2. Check readiness first: Understand the basic nouns and actions used in the example.
  3. Discuss an incorrect response using this distinction: Check the relationship between the words, not only the isolated vocabulary.

Watch for: Check the relationship between the words, not only the isolated vocabulary.

Check the answer criteria for each task. A supported explanation may have more than one acceptable response. These activities offer evidence to discuss; completing a sheet alone does not establish mastery.
