Instructional situation
Learners are second grade ESL students. The following lesson is a follow up lesson on both verbs and nouns.
Students have been introduced to them previously and should have a general idea of how to define and
identify either.
This lesson will be taught using the presentation named Verb or Noun (posted at the end of this document).
During the lesson students will be using the Smartboard to interactively participate. They will also need to use
their notebooks to write the definitions and examples that are outlined in the presentation.
Following the short, interactive presentation students will participate in an on line interactive activity called Ice
cream talk – Practice learning Nouns and Verbs (posted at the end of this document). The game gives the
students the opportunity to apply the knowledge they have learned.
