Instructional Ideas

  • Use in a mainstream language arts class, ELD class, or with adult English learners
  • Include in an assessment on verb tense
  • Laminate the verb cards for multiple uses
  • Encourage pupils to add the verb charts to their language arts notebooks for easy reference

Classroom Considerations

  • The first activity discusses an adult pursuing her GED, but the rest of the exercises do not reference this topic and can be used independently

Pros

  • Exercises are straightforward and easy to complete, making them ideal for learners who struggle with complex instructions

Cons

  • None
