Hi everybody. Sorry I am falling behind =( Haven't been able to write in a while. I've been doing service learning for a local middle school in an ESL (English as a Second Language) classroom. The teacher let me come up with the lesson plans last week. I taught them about action verbs, helping verbs, prepositions, and adverbs. I made up my own mad libs for a fun activity after the lesson. Check it out, here's the link:
http://www.wordlibs.com/genre/libs/index.phpstory=10308&name=Halloween+Surprise
If you go to the website http://www.wordlibs.com/ you can create your own mad libs with whatever type of grammar you are learning, you just have to come up with a story! Write the story out however you want it to sound, for example:
"Once upon a time there was a Princess named Danielle. She lived in a castle in a majestic land called Pomona. She ate magic cinnamon apples for breakfast every morning..." Then on the next page you can click on words and assign them labels, for example I could click on "majestic" and have it show up as a blank labeled "adjective" for somebody to fill in. Sorry if this isn't making sense, just try it and you'll see what I mean!
WARNING FOR TEACHERS: Do not use the pre-made madlibs because ANYBODY can create the mad libs and some of them are very inappropriate. ONLY create your own to share with your class =)
