Word Activity 5: Silly Sentences
 
Step 1: Get out your word study notebook!

From Cogan Nursery School

Step 2:  Use each word from the word list to create a silly sounding sentence that includes all the parts of speech.  Identify each part of speech in the sentence.

Here's an example: 

Man, sometimes I wish my friend sat on an orange and blue array !

Man - Interjection    sometimes - adverb     

I/my - pronoun         on - preposition            could - verb              wish - verb      

sat- verb          orange/blue - adjective        and - conjuction      friend/array - noun

Step 3:  Choose one of your sentences to illustrate.  This can be done right in your notebook.  Put lots of effort into it and make it as funny as possible!!

Sounds simple, but this will be challenging.  Good luck!
