Introduction (5 minutes)

   • Write down some of their responses on the chart paper and introduce the term "action verbs."

Direct Instruction (10 minutes)

1. What is an Action Verb?

   • Explain that action verbs are words that tell us what someone or something is doing.
   • Provide examples and use gestures to demonstrate each verb (e.g., "run" while pretending to run).

2. Identify Action Verbs Together

   • Display picture cards one by one.
   • Ask students to name the action depicted in each card and encourage them to repeat the action after you.
   • Write the corresponding action verb on the whiteboard.

Guided Practice (10 minutes)

1. Fill-in-the-Blank Activity
   • Hand out worksheets with sentences that have missing action verbs (e.g., "The dog likes to __ (run)."
   • Go through the sentences together as a class, asking students to suggest action verbs to fill in the blanks.
   • Have students complete the worksheet individually.

Independent Practice (5 minutes)

1. Action Verb Drawing
   • Instruct students to draw a picture of themselves doing an action (e.g., jumping, dancing, swimming).
