Description
Every unit is all ninja, all the time. Ninja jokes, ninja facts, ninja stories. Learners will have a riot of a time learning about subjects and verbs. Of all things! Subjects and Verbs! So check out the best idea to ever hit the grammar world, a 47-page unit that includes all answer keys!!! (resources are .pdf or PowerPoint)
This single unit gives teachers complete grammar lesson plans that walk students through every subject and verb in real sentences. The grammar instruction covers singular and plural forms across the main parts of a sentence. Lessons also tackle sentences that begin with commands or questions, as well as indefinite pronouns and tricky compound subjects that confuse most students.
COMMON CORE: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.1; CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.2
“I hate grammar,” students too often say. “Why do we have to learn this stuff?” Now, for once, a grammar unit exists that will engage middle schoolers and high schoolers alike — THE GRAMMAR NINJA.
Inside this unit, students get hands-on practice spotting singular subjects and plural subjects in real sentences. They also learn how a singular verb or plural verb behaves across different kinds of subjects. Words like somebody, everybody, and anybody finally start to make sense once students see that each indefinite pronoun is considered singular in a complete sentence. The engaging activities reinforce learning at every skill level and build the foundation students need for subject-verb agreement in their own writing.
