Introduction

(2 minutes)
  • Engage students by asking them about what they like to do. Record the verbs they use on the board.
  • Explain that a verb is the word used to express an action. We are constantly in action or a state of being, so there are many different verbs that could be used to describe us in a single day.
  • Tell the class that today's lesson will be about describing what characters do in stories.
