Mini lessons: Mini lessons focus on a particular grammatical concept and are carried out when a teacher has determined a specific area of need. For instance, following a mini lesson on alliterations, student could be encouraged to produce their own alliterations. Alternatively, on a noun mini lesson, student could be asked to name 15 nouns seen within the classroom or list a number of describing words to objects identified around the classroom.

Parts of Speech Poem and Activity: Share the 'Nine Parts of Speech' poem with students.

This poem could also be displayed in the classroom or glued into the students grammar and punctuation journals for reference. The poem is complemented by the 'Nine Parts of Speech Activity Sheet' which asks students to fill in the blanks with their own ideas. As an extension students could be asked to create their own poem which includes the parts of speech.
