Todays LessonIn todays lesson we will question what a noun and verb is and the common relationship they may share in the English language.

Firstly, defined will be the noun; secondly, defined will be the verb. Once an awareness has been constructed the next level will be the objective. Thirdly, the lesson will move onto the relationship some nouns and verbs share. Following onto an individual activity at the end answers will be shared with the rest of the class. Fourthly, A practical video will be used and discussed during the main part of the lesson. This will follow with an activity and again answers will be shared with the class. Finally, we will summarise what was learned.
