Today we began class by reviewing the eight parts of speech (noun, verb, adjective, pronoun, adverb, preposition, conjunction, and interjection). Students then did an exercise to review nouns, adjectives, and verbs in-depth. To receive credit for today's assignment, students that were absent must copy the sentences provided and identify the underlined as either a noun, verb, or adjective.

Once you have written your paragraph, you will need to identify the nouns, verbs, and adjectives you have used by circling all of the nouns, underlining the verbs, and squiggle underline the adjectives.
