Parts of Speech Project
NOUNS
- Draw a rainbow with six colored stripes. Fill the top stripe with nouns that are
usually red (ex: apple). Fill the
second stripe with nouns that name items that are usually orange (ex:
tangerine). Continue with the
colors yellow, green, blue, and purple.
Add illustrations.
- A home for a rodent is a mouse house. A slippery tree limb is a slick
stick. Think of at least four other
rhyming adjectives/noun pairs and write descriptions for them like the
examples above. Illustrate them.
VERBS
- Make a list down your paper of the letters of the
alphabet. Now write a verb that
begins with each letter of the alphabet.
You should have 26 verbs when finished.
- Find at least ten synonyms for each of the
following verbs: talk, walk, run, add.
Note: make sure you are
finding synonyms for verbs—not some other part of speech.
PRONOUNS
- Slogans are catchy sayings companies use to help
people remember products. Many
slogans begin with pronouns, such as we
(to refer to the company), it
(to refer to the product, or you
(to refer to the customer). Choose
ten products or companies and write a clever slogan for each. Do not use existing slogans. Make up your own and begin the slogan
with a pronoun.
- Write a pronoun poem. It should be at least 10 lines
long. Each line should begin with a
different pronoun. Use objective,
subjective, interrogative, and demonstrative pronouns (at least two of
each).
ADJECTIVES
- Find at least two adjectives for each of the
following categories: Color, Size, Shape,
Distance, Feelings or Qualities (do not use good, nice, or pretty),
Quantity, Temperature, Time, Nationality or Origin, Material, Age,
Purpose. Label each category.
- Make a list down your paper of the letters of the
alphabet. Now write an adjective that
describes yourself for each letter.
You should have 26 adjectives when finished.
ADVERBS
- Make a list of ten actions a
football/basketball/baseball (pick one) player might do. Now, for each, list two adverbs that
could explain how the athlete might have done each of those actions. Use
your words to write ten sentences about the athlete you chose.
Example: ran = action verb
forward, quickly =
adverbs
The receiver ran forward
quickly to catch the winning pass.
- Any action verb you use could have an adverb. Write two sentences, each with a
different action verb. Then rewrite
each sentence five times but use a different adverb each time to change
the meaning of your sentence.
Underline the adverb in each sentence.
Example: She got up energetically.
She got up carefully.
She got up frantically.
She got up calmly.
She got up reluctantly.
PREPOSITIONS:
- Write a Preposition Poem. Each line of the poem must begin with a
preposition. The poem should have a
title (what the poem is about) and at least 15 lines.
CONJUNCTIONS:
- To remember the coordinating conjunctions, just
remember the word FANBOYS (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so). Write two different sentences for each
of the coordination conjunctions.
INTERJECTIONS:
- Write a short dialogue between two people. Have each person use at least five
interjections in the dialogue.
Remember to punctuate the dialogue appropriately. (Use your Writer’s Choice book if you need help with this).
