Overview - TRACKING DOWN THE PARTS OF SPEECH SOFTWARE
With Tracking Down the Parts of Speech Software, students learn and practice the four main parts of speech. The program uses a detective theme to guide students to solve ten mystery cases while they learn, locate, and identify nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs.
SOFTWARE FEATURES
Meet the Parts of Speech
As students log in to the software, they encounter a hallway with several rooms. They must then enter a noun, verb, adjective, or adverb room to practice that part of speech in order to be ready to solve a case.
Solving Cases
After learning about the parts of speech, students choose a case to solve, such as The Mystery of the Creepy Caller. Each case begins with an audio introduction. Then, students practice one or more parts of speech.
Options & Assessment
An assessment helps teachers determine students' mastery. Teacher options allow for many adaptations. A tutorial helps remind students of each part of speech and its critical components.
