Description of how to implement in the class: students will use kidspiration to organize their
ideas to four basic parts of speech (adjective, nouns, verbs, adverbs). Before letting the student use
kidpiration, we will practice with the group together in class. While practicing, #1 I will start by
showing student by writing vocabulary words in the blue symbols or rectangular box provided. #2
drag each word in the correct part of speech. #3 students will use the words to make Sentence for the
words the student has chosen in the symbols box.
The next class period for ELA we will go to the computer lab so that each student will practice on the
parts of the speech (adjective, nouns, verbs, adverbs) using kidspiration.
This learning activity will help students organize their content and also be able to remember,
understand, apply, differentiate and Analyze four basic parts of speech (adjective, nouns, verbs,
adverbs).

(evaluating and/or creating). Students engage in two-way collaborations with peers, mentors, and/or
experts beyond the classroom as they pursue their learning. Students produce products that are
interesting/meaningful to themselves and to others beyond the teacher, peers, and parents in their
classroom. They share these products with an audience beyond their classroom.
