Word Activity 5: GRAFFITI
 

Step 1:  Get out your word study notebook!
 

Step 2:  Classify each word list according to the parts of speech we are looking at. For example, the word "patiently" is what part of speech:  adverb, verbs, adjectives or nouns??

 

Some may belong to more than one part of speech.  For example, "dry" can be both an adjective and a verb.  (The dry dog (adjective) or I need to dry my hands(verb)).

 

Step 3:  Get a piece of blank paper and choose either adjectives, verbs or adverbs to do the following:

             a)  In the middle of the sheet write one of the parts of speech in graffiti.

             b)  Write the definition underneath the word; you'll need to do a bit more

                   research to get the best definition possible (and in YOUR OWN WORDS!).

             c)  Look through old books, magazines, flyers, etc... and find examples of that

                  particular part of speech.

             d) Cut them out and glue them around the word and definition.

                  Look at the examples below to help you with this activity.

Use graffiti to create your part of speech category (verb, noun, adjective, or adverb) for the instead of regular letters.  The picture with "VERBS" shows you just some basic lettering.  The second picture is what should go around the word and the definition.  Have fun and BE CREATIVE!!
