Grammar Webquest

taken from:http://eastwoodlibrary.wordpress.com/pathfinders-webquests/grammar-webquest/

Welcome to the grammar webquest.  This is an opportunity for you to review your grammar rules and hopefully have a little fun!  Your goal with this webquest is to create a “cheat sheet” for yourself that contains all that you need to know about the rules of grammar.
First, begin by reviewing the eight parts of speech.  You can do that here.   On a separate sheet of paper, list the eight parts of speech.
Next, give a thorough definition of each part of speech.  Explain what it is and give an example. This site will help you with that.

When you have finished the above assignments, look deeper into the definitions to find subcategories.  Click the term to find the definition.   The subcategories you are responsible for are:

• proper nouns
• common nouns
• plural nouns
• singular nouns
• abstract nouns
• concrete nouns
• possessive nouns
• plural possessive nouns

• interrogative pronoun
• demonstrative pronoun
• relative pronouns

• helping verb
• linking verb
• action verb

• coordinating conjunction (Please read the beginning part about coordinating conjuctions, and then scroll down to read about beginning a sentence with a conjunction.   On your paper answer the following question:  When is it okay to begin a sentence with a coordinating conjunction?)

• adverbs of time
• adverbs of place
• adverbs of manner

• articles

You will need to include all these on your cheat sheet!

WEBQUEST: PARTS OF SPEECH 

taken from http://murielgissel.blogspot.com/p/webquest-parts-of-speech.html

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the Parts of Speech Webquest ! This is an opportunity for you to review what you have learned and hopefully have a little fun!

Words are everywhere. We use them everyday and it is important that we know how to use them correctly. The parts of speech are essential building blocks of the English language. Each part has its own function and importance in the English grammar.

  

 

TASK:

Your goal with this webquest is to create a "cheat sheet" for yourself that contains the main aspects about the eight parts of speech in English (Noun, Verb, Adjective, Adverb, Pronoun, Preposition, Conjunction and Interjection). This webquest also allows you to strengthen your technology skills, exercise your creativity, practice your research skills, appreciate the complexity of the English language, experience the fun of language, and visit resource sites to discriminate between different parts of speech.

THE PROCESS

1. Using Microsoft Word Program or any other word processor, elaborate a table like the one presented below:

Part of Speech	Function	Example words	Example sentence
NOUNS
PRONOUNS
VERBS
ADJECTIVES
ADVERBS
PREPOSITIONS
INTERJECTIONS
CONJUNCTIONS

2. Then, using the sites shown below (you may not need them all, feel free to jump around the list), complete your table with the requested information. 

3. Finally, send your document to the teacher´s e-mail (jeniferfeagins@gmail.com)
