Parts of Speech with Slang BUNDLE: Posters and Google Slides Activity

Want to review the eight parts of speech in a way that middle and high school students will never forget? Use slang! This bundle includes a Google Slides activity that helps students to review the eight parts of speech and posters that will help students remember their learning all year long!

Students practice higher level thinking when they analyze the parts of speech of slang words they know and love. The lesson can easily be shared in Google Classroom and takes approximately 2-3 class days to complete. The goal is to empower students by showing them the intricacies of the language they use on a daily basis.

The Slang it! Google Slides lesson includes 21 slides and four parts:

Part One: Students review the eight parts of speech.

Part Two: Students use their knowledge to sort fun, teenage grammar.

Part Three: Students use evidence to defend their slang sort.

Part Four: Students choose appropriate slang from their own life to analyze.

The four-part lesson ends with a final reflection: What did you learn about the grammar of slang? How do you look at language differently now than you did before? What new understandings do you have?
