Using Resources

Today, students are working with their literacy partners and a variety of resources to learn about parts of speech.  Students are using their laptops, dictionaries, and resource texts to find information.  Each team is providing information about nouns, verbs, articles, adverbs, adjectives, and prepositional phrases. The kids are discovering that copying definitions does not help them understand, but using multiple resources and talking to their partners helps immensely.  Once students have a clearer understanding of these terms, we will find them in their reading.  The ultimate goal with this project is to improve student writing by understanding these parts of speech.
