The Moods of a Verb... Indicative... Subjunctive...

Verb Mood... is a Common Core necessity!

Verb Moods - Subjective. Conditional. Imperative. Interrogative. Indicative.

I've tried to make this topic a little snazzy. Generally, students feel that verb moods are a bunch of big words that are not relevant to them. My goal is to connect a visual with each mood and have students understand each mood through various activities.

This EATS lesson includes:
--a very helpful graphic organizer
-- the content standard and essential question
-- preview vocabulary
-- Fantastic PowerPoint with the definition and example of each mood: Indicative, Imperative, Interrogative, Conditional and Subjunctive
-- a review
-- a writing activity
-- an Exit Ticket

The graphic organizer works really well with my 8th graders! Students connect to the visuals and can use this g.o. with future assignments!

This PowerPoint is accompanied by an EATS lesson plan.

This lesson focuses on:

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.8.1 Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English grammar and usage when writing or speaking, AND (especially)
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.8.1c Form and use verbs in the indicative, imperative, interrogative, conditional, and subjunctive mood.

The Essential Questions used are:
-- How can I use verbs correctly in the indicative, imperative, interrogative, conditional, and subjunctive moods?
-- How can I form verbs correctly in the indicative, imperative, interrogative, conditional, and subjunctive moods?

Thanks so much!- Kim Kroll
