  1. GRAMMAR REVIEW: Parts of Speech Using the “My Summer Vacation” bulletin board, list all of the nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, and conjunctions. Then label the nouns common or proper.

  2. Nouns What common themes do you see among these nouns? Some of these nouns have other classifications. What are they? • summer: common • vacation: common • Europe: proper • Eiffel Tower: proper • Paris: proper • mustard: common • Dijon: proper • canal: common • Annecy: proper • Kiwanis International Convention: proper • Geneva: proper • water jet: common • flower clock: common • Montreaux: proper • Chillon Castle: proper • London: proper • spot: common • Parliament: proper • Big Ben: proper • Scotland: proper • Edinburgh Castle: proper • Glasgow: proper • trip: common • lifetime: common

  3. Pronouns • my • I • this We can classify these three pronouns as personal, possessive, or demonstrative. Which is which?

  4. Verbs • visited • saw • tasted • walked • attended • toured • was • amazed We can classify these verbs as action, linking, or helping. Which are which? We can also classify the action verbs as transitive or intransitive. Which are which?

  5. Adjectives • magnificent • famous • favorite What words are these adjectives describing? Pronouns can act as adjectives. What about the pronouns we already identified? Which are acting as adjectives? Why didn’t I list water and flower as adjectives?

  6. Adverbs • There aren’t any! • Did you think there were? Which words did you write down?

  7. Prepositions • in • along • by • of A prepositional phrase begins with the preposition and ends with the object of the preposition, which is a noun or pronoun. What are the prepositional phrases that go with the prepositions above? Hint: There are multiple phrases for in.

  8. Conjunctions • and This was the only conjunction I used, and it made the style of writing on the bulletin board very simple. How could I have used other conjunctions rather than and? There are also transitions that would have been useful. Can you identify a few of them?

  9. Your Assignment: Due tomorrow. Worth 50 points. • For homework, write a brief essay (3 paragraphs, 5 sentences each) about your summer vacation. This doesn’t mean that you had to actually go away somewhere. You may write about the things you did around the area or at home. • Spelling, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization count! • You must write on every other line so that you can label each part of speech ABOVE the word. • You may abbreviate as follows: • Noun: n • Pronoun: pn • Verb: v • Adjective: adj • Adverb: adv • Preposition: prep • Conjunction: c • Underline the prepositional phrases.
