Lesson Plan of Action Verbs(II)
English Grade V
Students’ Learning Outcomes
· Recognize and use more action verbs from extended environment including other subjects in speech and writing.
Information for Teachers
· A verb is a word that expresses action, makes a statement, or links relationships.
· A verb is one of the most importance parts of the sentence. It tells the subject actions, events, or state of beings. It is always found in the predicate of a sentence. A verb that shows action is called an action verb.
· Action verbs are verbs that show actions. They are dynamic verbs that show something happening.
· An action verb is a verb that expresses physical or mental action. The action verb tells us what the subject of our clause or sentence is doing-physically or mentally. Ex: run, walk, do, and drive. I’ll do my homework when I get home.
· There are regular and irregular action verbs.
· Regular verbs are those whose past tense and past participles are formed by adding a -d or an -ed to the end of the verb. “To roll” is a good example of a regular verb: roll, rolled, rolled.
For example:
o To walk is a regular action verb.
o To run is an irregular action verb.
· Action verbs are time-telling verbs. They also tell when something takes place.
o I walk every day (simple present).
o I am walking (present continuous).
o I walk yesterday (simple past).
o I was walking yesterday when I saw an accident. (Past continuous).
o I run every day (simple present).
o I am running (present continuous).
o I ran yesterday (simple past).
o I was running yesterday when I saw an accident (past continuous).
· Time allocation for each activity is flexible and can change as per need of the activity.
· Scoot: to go suddenly and speedily.
· Skip: to move by hopping on one foot and then the other.
· Flip: to toss so as to cause to turn over in the air (flip a coin, flip one end of the scarf over your shoulder).
· Trip: to stumble or to fall.
· While teaching lesson, the teacher should also consult textbook at all steps where and when required.

Worm up activity
· Note:
o The students studied the action verbs in Grade 2,3 and 4. Therefore, review their existing knowledge of the action verbs in the worm up activity. Take the students to next level of difficulty by including more action verbs from extended environment.
