8 major parts of speech in English grammar: noun, pronoun, verb, adverb, adjective, conjunction, preposition, and interjection.
Based on their use and functions, words are categorized into several types or parts of speech.
You must familiarize yourself with the different parts of speech discussed in this article because they are among the most fundamental concepts that you will encounter throughout your study of grammar.
Grammar Scramblers, spreadsheets, and parts of speech
Students use and create Grammar Scramblers with a spreadsheet in order to practice identifying and using parts of speech in a fun way.
Jazzy sentences
This is an interesting activity to help students jazz up or make their sentences more interesting by adding adjectives, adverbs, more vibrant verbs, and descriptive nouns.
Sequential vocabulary
Understanding words is necessary for success in every discipline. Learning to identify and define word parts empowers a student to unlock the meaning of unfamiliar words. This process teaches a life skill rather than memorization of definitions.
Syntactic classes of words are traditionally called parts of speech.
Not all languages have the same parts of speech. Many languages have postpositions
rather than prepositions, like Georgian skolashi, to school; skoladan, from
school. Serbo-Croatian, Slovak and many other languages have clitics
(clitics are affixes attached to phrases instead of single words).
A common assertion is that all languages have at least nouns and verbs. It
is true that all languages have some means of conveying information as a concept
or as an event, but what a noun or verb is differs from language to language.

A two part activity to collect and model information, followed by an opportunity to compare data using a block graph.
"Who thinks they live close to school? What do we mean by "very close" ...one street away, 5 minutes walk, closer than the shop on the corner?"
"Let's put some names on the chart. Who lives furthest away?"
"Now let's look at the block graph, how many children live close to school?"
#19. Use technology in your offline vocabulary. Refer to "files" when talking about organizing different classroom resources. Ask students to share by also occasionally calling it "uploading" for the class. Use words like "collaboration" and "networks" when working in small groups. These are not just technological terms, they are 21st century terms, and should be embedded into your teaching.
"I wanted to post a list that talked about how to "use" technology in the classroom, but I found myself revising that word "use" to the more general word, "model." The reason I did this is because so many teachers believe that if students aren't actively sitting in front of the computer screen themselves, then clearly technology is not being used in the classroom.
This myth can be a gatekeeper of sorts for many teachers, and I wanted to create a list that both gives advice on how to "use" but also acknowledges that in simply modeling the use the of technology, the students are also learning to use it in an indirect way."

I don't know what all is still part of your "space" curriculum, but thought this was cool and the kids would like it. It's a great way to show how day/night are changing over time around the world.
