GR 2-4 Parts of Speech CD Interactive

Keeping track of the definitions for the parts of speech can be very difficult. When you add the sub-topics within each part of speech, it can be even more challenging. This is why each section begins with a memory trick. The students may draw a study picture or chant a phrase that contains the definition and a sample word. For example, a clown will represent a noun. A clown at a circus in the center ring helps students remember that a noun is a person (clown), place (circus), or thing (ring). Notice that if you say the previous sentence in a certain way, it rhymes which again, is a trick to help the students learn the definition of a noun. Throughout the unit on nouns, the students expand on the noun/clown concept and add dimensions representing common-proper, singular-plural, and possessive nouns. There is a trick for each part of speech.
