The task is to create a “Verb Splash” which is a visual representation of the
action words.
1. Create a list of at least ten (10) action words. These words could be a physical
action (jumping) or a mental action (thinking). There are a few lists of action verbs
(002/002.1/002.2) in the shared resource folder if you are having trouble with
ideas.
2. Take your list of action words and make them LOOK like what they SAY. For
example: Place the letters of the word jump to make them look like they are
jumping or maybe draw the word Cut and draw scissors cutting a piece out of the
word. Be CREATIVE, NEAT and use COLOR! You may use a piece of computer
paper OR Explain Everything but NEATNESS is the key.

3. Take your time and make it look nice! You can choose to draw the ten verbs on
a piece of computer paper and add color OR use Explain Everything to animate
your verb splash.
