Transcript Verb verbs Mood Project

Verb
Mood Project
• Make a 9-slide themed power point
demonstrating your knowledge of verb
moods. (Slide #1 should be a title slide.)
• The theme should be something you are
interested in: cows, football, shopping,
etc.
• Each type of mood (Slides #2-6) should
be explained in your own words along
with two original examples. Your
examples should fit the theme of your
presentation.
• If your theme is cows, your sentences
should be about cows.
• One slide (#7) should be devoted to
explaining a shift in mood with two
labeled examples (The first is the mood
shift mistake and the second is the
correct sentence.)
• The last two slides (# 8-9) should contain
a short quiz for the audience and an
answer key. (3-4 questions)
