Patrick and I discussed what he knew about verbs. He recalled that verbs are movements:) I modeled how they are more than movements showing him that I can look, think, and stare without moving. He thought that was pretty funny. We agreed that verbs are movement and action words. Next, we played charades. We took turns acting out verbs and writing down guesses. In order for the guess to count it had to be written down. Then we took a verb walk. Patrick generated a list of 21 verbs he noticed people doing. He was very perceptive with this. He used verbs like opening, closing, taking, etc...This is a great example of Patrick's higher-level thinking. He moved beyond the obvious choices (walking, talking, etc). Lastly, we began Patrick's verb book. His finished book will include himself completing an action and creating a sentence to describe what he is doing on the computer.
