Is she making these lessons up herself, or getting them out of a book?

A website.

Consider: this lesson sets children up to fail unless they have help at home from an adult who already understands verbs, because the instructions are misleading.

I know. And I told her outright that the assignment was badly written, there was NO WAY she could've done it with the information she's supposed to have had. Because she was getting every. one. wrong. Of course she was! And I don't want her thinking it's her fault, because it's so not.

The best way I know to teach kids about the parts of speech is through Mad Libs, and there's a ton of them online. Enjoy! :)

I think we'll do a lot of that this summer, good idea.
