WORD STUDY FEEDBACK!!!

Here's some feedback about your last word study on the first four parts of speech:

WHAT WE NOTICED:

Many of you were able to identify most nouns and verbs.  We saw some very creative work with the graffiti - great job!

WHAT YOU MISSED:

It looks like we still need to work on adverbs as that was a problem area for most students.

Some of you also had difficulty identifying "relationship" and "friendship" as nouns.  Some of you that it was a verb, but these are not ACTION!!! words.

Also, don't forget some words can be more than one part of speech.  In our last activity, "decimal" could be both an adjective or a noun.  When it describes the word "number" like in "decimal number", then it is an adjective.  "Text" and "trade" can also be a noun and a verb.  You can "text" a person (verb) and you can make a "trade".

WHAT TO DO NEXT:

When reading, look for adverbs and verbs in the sentences.  Don't forget to make the necessary corrections.  Keep up the good work!!
