Types of Verbs - Double Lesson!

This engaging and highly-purposeful double lesson has been designed to enable children to understand, identify and use different types of verbs.

They learn about active, stative, modal and auxiliary verbs through a range of interesting and logically-sequenced activities.

Children learn through:
-Defining each of the different types of verbs, and thinking of examples of each;
-Identfying different types of verbs within sentences;
-Explaining how they know what type of verb is being used;
-Employing different types of verb to describe interesting and humerous picture stimulus;
-Creating their own creative texts, applying the knowledge that they have gained throughout the lesson;
-Evaluating their own writing attempts, endeavouring to find further appropriate opportunities for uplevelling their use of verbs.

The resource pack is comprised of a colourful and comprehensive PowerPoint presentation, which offers a step-by-step guide through the entirety of the lesson. Also included is the Bloom’s Taxonomy activity sheet, which guides children through defining, identifying and explaining different types of verbs (provided in both PDF and Word, with an additional teacher answer sheet).

This is best taught either in one double lesson period, or over the course of two lessons (there are approx 2-2.5 hours of materials).
The lesson was originally created for children in both upper KS2 and lower KS3, however with minor adaptations could easily be suitable for those in lower KS2.
