$5.99 including GST10 more GIF-based video models of simple, compound and complex sentences featuring high frequency verbs in context and the Banter Boys. The verbs featured in Volume 4 are: carry, turn, open, fly, stir, stand up, cut, roll, give and tear.
Verbs are all about actions. A great way to teach high frequency verbs in sentences is with pictures that move: GIFs!
In this resource, we include GIFs of children demonstrating high frequency verbs in action. To play the GIFs, copy the slides onto your Google Drive.
For each video-model, we scaffold four examples of different kinds of sentences you can use to model language with each GIF, e.g.:
-
- Subject Verb:Â The boy is turning.
- Subject Verb Object Adverbial Phrase:Â The boy is turning the tap handle.
- Simple infinitive:Â The boy is turning the tap handle to get water.
- Complex:Â Unless the boy turns the tap handle the other way, water will go everywhere!
