Action ABC's: Learning Vocabulary With Verbs - ReadWriteThink - 2 views

  •  
    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."

Phrasal Verbs: Usage and Acquisition - 1 views

  •  
    The purpose of this paper is to explore the gradual development of verb-particle constructions in child language by examining longitudinal data from the spontaneous oral speech of Naima, an English-speaking girl from the Providence Corpus of the CHILDES database (MacWhinney, 2000; Demuth, Culbertson & Alter, 2006), between ages 0;11 and 3;10. My findings also support the claim that input and interaction play a major role in the language acquisition process. Indeed, by analyzing the emergence and usage of phrasal verbs by Naima, I will thus compare the top ten verb-particle construction types used by the child and the adult. Ultimately, I will show the correlation between the most frequently used phrasal verbs in adult speech and the earliest constructions acquired by Naima

Animal Inquiry Through Paws, Claws, Hands, and Feet | Big Universe Learning - Blog - 1 views

  •  
    Paws, Claws, Hands, and Feet by Kimberly Hutmacher is a rhythmic rhyming book about animals and how they use their appendages. A book like this is especially helpful for exposing children to a variety of verbs that they may not ordinarily use. When asked to describe what feet can do, many of my lower elementary students would say: walk, run, stand, hop, or jump. After reading this book, they discover that feet can also: cling, leap, dash, roam, etc.

Tar Heel Gameplay | Games everyone can play. - 2 views

  •  
    Welcome to Tar Heel Gameplay, a collection of free, easy-to-play, and accessible games. Each game is speech enabled and may be accessed using multiple interfaces, including touch screens and 1 to 3 switches. You may create your own games using videos from the huge collection at YouTube.

    It's based on creating switch stop/starts in YouTube videos, and you can also set it up with your own videos by cutting and pasting the link. You just don't want to save those home videos to the GamePlay website where everyone searches. http://tarheelgameplay.org/ It works best if you use it in a Chrome browser, but on my iPad, I've been using it in Safari okay. Check out some of my favorites - Disney Princess Medley - from one of my Bridge Camp buddies - A Ornie the Pig - the stops emphasize action verbs that the character is going to do if you activate the swtich, not just hit the switch to make it go Nascar pit Stop - if you want lots of switch activations and fast action and of course, Scat - because who doesn't love ya some Ice Age squirrel thing?
