Students will be able to differentiate between action verbs and stative verbs.
Introduction
(5 minutes)- Show students a few pictures of people doing actions, like running, jumping, and kicking (or draw simple pictures of actions on the board).
- Ask students to suggest verbs as labels for each picture (i.e., run, jump, kick). Support students as needed to ensure the labels are action verbs and record their answers below each picture.
- Explain that these verbs are all examples of action verbs which are verbs that express a physical (or sometimes mental) action.
- Tell students that today they will be differentiating between action verbs and non-action verbs.
