Hook: A Mysterious Letter

Objective:

Today, we will explore the exciting world of infinite verbs! But first, let’s start with a little mystery.

The Setup:

Imagine you receive a special letter in the mail. As you unfold it, you discover it's from a hidden treasure hunter who has left clues scattered throughout the world. The treasure hunter asks for your help in finding the treasure! But there’s a catch… you must understand infinite verbs to solve the clues and advance in the treasure hunt.

The Letter:

---

Dear Brave Treasure Hunter,

I have heard tales of your incredible bravery and cleverness! I need your help to find the Lost Treasure of Vocabulary. Each clue leads to the next, but they are written in a tricky way using infinite verbs.

Your mission is to:

1. Find the hidden treasures by solving my clues.
2. Remember that every verb has its own special form, and the infinite form will guide you through.

To begin your adventure, here’s your first clue:

"To find the treasure, you must first discover the place where old secrets lie. Follow where the shadows lead."

Good luck!

Your friend,

The Treasure Hunter

• Discuss their thoughts on infinite verbs and how they relate to the clues in the letter.
• Encourage students to think about how understanding these verbs will help them throughout their treasure-hunting journey.
