Ask the student to write a short story or description about their favorite Roblox game or iPad game. Encourage them to use a variety of different parts of speech in their writing.

Talking Points
- What are nouns?
- What are verbs?
- What are adjectives?
- What are adverbs?
"Nouns are words that name people, places, things, or ideas. For example, in the sentence 'I love playing Roblox,' the word 'Roblox' is a noun because it is the name of a game."
"Verbs are action words. They show what someone or something is doing. In the sentence 'I am playing Roblox,' the word 'playing' is a verb because it shows the action of what I am doing."
"Adjectives are words that describe or modify nouns. They give more information about a person, place, or thing. For example, in the sentence 'I have a colorful iPad,' the word 'colorful' is an adjective because it describes the iPad."
"Adverbs are words that describe or modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They tell us how, when, where, or why something happens. In the sentence 'I quickly completed the game,' the word 'quickly' is an adverb because it describes how I completed the game."
