Instructional Procedures
Focusing Event:
There will be a couple of sentences on the board and as a class we will decide with words
are the noun, verb, adjective and adverb.
Closure:
As a class, we will review what a noun, verb, adverb, and adjective is again and
some examples.
Assessment/Summative Evaluation:
The students will fill out a Mad Lib. That is where there are blanks in a story with
the part of speech under the blank and the students must come up with a word that
fits that part of speech and fill it in the blank. They do not have to make sense and
are supposed to be funny. The student will receive credit as long as it is the correct
part of speech.

Modifications/Notes:
GT: These students will have to create their own Mad Lib. They will be given a couple
Mad Libs to look at for examples and them they will write their own and fill in the
blanks.
Special Ed: These students will be given a Mad Lib with a part of speech for them to fill
in but they will be given the choice between two words and then they must choose the
correct one.
ESL: These students will also fill out a Mad Lib but pictures will be provided by the
words so the students can associate the word with something they might know.
