Students are likely to know many more words than they use in their writing. This lesson is designed to help students better use their vocabulary by teaching (or reviewing) what verbs are and to then help them access verbs they already know and use them in sentences. Students work together to brainstorm and create lists of verbs for each of the letters of the alphabet. Then, choosing one verb for each letter, they create pages for an Action Alphabet book. Each page includes an illustration and a sentence using the verb in context. The project can be adapted according to age level and language ability. Students in kindergarten may work together on a class book, while older students may work in small groups or individually. Similarly, the complexity of the example sentences will vary depending on students' writing levels."

The purpose of this interactive workbook is to provide a concise, practical tool to assist teachers in beginning or continuing their journey toward best co-teaching practices. It is meant to be read and completed by co-teachers before they begin the school year to forge strong, purposeful relationships that will benefit students. The workbook contents may be printed or read on-line to enhance the interactivity and connect to video links.
