Putting it all Together

Objective:  Review parts of speech in unit and

Materials: Chart paper, assorted color markers, computers with Internet access.

Introduction:  Part 1:In preparation, place 5 chart papers  up in various corners of the room.   Ask students to tell all the parts of speech studied thus far.  Go around the room and each time the class says a different one, write on one of the chart papers.  Explain the "Carousel Activity": Each table/group is going to have a different color marker.  Each will begin at one of the chart papers and write all of the words they can think of for that part of speech.  After one minute, teacher will call time and the groups will rotate to the next chart paper.  After each table/group has had a turn at each chart, charts will have words in everyone's color and groups can read off the words they wrote out loud to the rest of the class.  Each table/group should be given a chance to read what they wrote to the rest of the class.  This will be a good opportunity to share and review parts of speech. 

Part 2  Introduce Cinquain Lesson.  Share samples. Pass out Cinquain Organizer and have students write a their own Cinquain.
